I Helped Craft the 25th Amendment. Here’s What People Get Wrong. Original
I know the history and intent of the amendment: I was given an opportunity to assist Congress in its development because of an article I wrote for the Fordham Law Review in 1963.

How the Constitution’s 25th Amendment helped the nation move beyond Watergate Original
Fifty years ago this week, Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency, and it might not have happened—at least not when it did—without the Constitution’s 25th Amendment and its vice presidential replacement procedure.

Perspective | Invoking the 25th Amendment should be as routine as a colonoscopy
correction A previous version of this article misstated the year President George H.W. Bush took office. It was 1989, not 1992. The article has been corrected. Vice President Harris was spared from having to confront any crises that demanded immediate attention during her brief but historic tenure as acting president on Friday morning.
Some are calling for the 25th amendment, but how does it work?
On Jan. 12, a day before voting to impeach President Donald Trump, charging him with “incitement of insurrection,” the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution asking Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to strip the president of his powers. The amendment’s fourth section authorizes the vice president and a majority of cabinet officers to declare a sitting president unable to discharge the powers and duties of office. This section has never been invoked.
