Professor John D Feerick Twenty-Fifth sku-861740221

Professor John D Feerick's book sku-861740221, listed under Civil Procedure Law Books, examines the Twenty-Fifth Amendment's meaning, legislative history and applications. It covers arguments about presidential and vice-presidential succession, the amendment's method of filling a vice-presidential vacancy, and proposals to repeal that feature or abolish the vice presidency.

It also discusses suggestions made during Watergate that the amendment could allow a president to transfer power during impeachment proceedings or allow the vice president and Cabinet to suspend a president during a Senate impeachment trial. The book considers criticism that the amendment is vague and undemocratic alongside praise for its succession provisions.
