25th Amendment Discussion: Trump and Presidential Power

The 25th Amendment is a part of the US Constitution about what happens if a president can't do their job.

It covers scenarios like the President dying, quitting, or being removed.

There are four parts.

The first says the Vice President takes over if the President is gone.

The second talks about picking a new Vice President.

The third allows the President to temporarily give power to the Vice President, for example, during surgery.

The fourth part is about the Vice President and the Cabinet removing the President if they think the President can't do the job.

If the President disagrees, Congress decides with a special vote.

It is currently being discussed because of President Trump's actions and comments.
