This amendment highlighted the need for more structured procedures for handling situations where the president is not able to perform their duties as president.

WHY

The 25th Amendment was not used until William Henry Harrison's death in 1841, when John Tyler became president. Congress questioned Tyler's authority and title. He clarified this by taking the presidential oath, officially becoming president. This amendment was ratified on February 10, 1967.

MY OPINION

04

I believe it can be improved by conducting medical evaluations to ensure that the amendment is not abused and is used only when necessary.(Examples:Kamala & Biden)

Improvement

If the 25th Amendment were removed, it would be unclear who would be next to hold all the authority. This would impair the government when it comes to decisions regarding war and economic crises. If there comes a time when we need to remove the president, there would be an unclear process on how to do that.
