Publisher Synopsis
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment was an instant classic when it appeared in 1976; this a revised and expanded third edition will prove equally indispensable. It is a learned and accessible examination of vital issues afflicting the presidency; a model history of how we amend the Constitution to respond to those issues; and a spur for reflection on the perennial challenges of constitutional government. The capstone to John Feerick's labors as a constitutional scholar, historian, and public-spirited citizen, this book deserves the widest possible audience.---R. B. Bernstein, New York Law School and City College of New York, Amending America and The Founding Fathers Reconsidered Feerick, author of this book, has been an active participant observer of the process of providing for presidential disability, presidential succession, and vice-presidential replacement. This work remains the definitive account of the adoption and implementation of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. -- Choice Read more...
