Answer 1

The 25th Amendment (ratified 1967) clarifies presidential succession and procedures for when a president is unable to perform the duties of office. It has four sections: Section 1 makes the vice president president if the president dies or resigns; Section 2 lets the president nominate a new vice president, subject to confirmation by both Houses; Section 3 allows a president to voluntarily transfer power to the vice president by written declaration; and Section 4 permits the vice president and a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments (or another body Congress establishes) to declare the president incapacitated so the vice president becomes Acting President, with Congress resolving disputes. A real-world use occurred on July 13, 1985, when Ronald Reagan invoked Section 3 and temporarily transferred power to Vice President George H. W. Bush while Reagan underwent surgery (about eight hours). The Amendment was also used in the 1970s to fill the vice presidency (Nixon appointed Gerald Ford in 1973; Ford appointed Nelson Rockefeller in 1974), but Section 4 has never been successfully invoked to remove a president.
