"In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resingnation,the vice president shall become president"

This amendment states that when the President is removed due to death, resignation, or removal, the Vice President will become the president.

ORGIN AND WHY

02

ORGIN

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.

John F. Kennedy

WHY

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

MY OPINION

Impact of Amendment&Improvement

Unit 01

Impact of Amendment

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.

Improvement

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)
