In: Political psychology: journal of the International Society of Political Psychology, Band 16, Heft 4
ISSN: 0162-895X
Considers the 2Fifth Amendment, which provides inadequate safeguards to protect the American public from a disabled president who either refuses to certify his own inability or, for reasons of physical or mental compromise, is unable to do so. Though Section 4 specifies who shall then decide, no explicit mandate exists to obtain the medical facts necessary for an informed decision. (Original abstract-amended)
