Curious timing. “[T]he Congressional Research Service (CRS) for the United States Congress… works exclusively for Congress, providing timely, objective, and authoritative research and analysis to committees and Members of both the House and Senate, regardless of political party affiliation. As a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress, CRS has been a valued and respected resource on Capitol Hill for more than a century.” The 25th amendment “seeks to promote the prompt, orderly, and democratic transfer of executive power: In particular, the Amendment establishes procedures for addressing presidential inability and vacancies that arise in the presidency or vice presidency. Because Congress may play a role in implementing the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, understanding the Amendment's history and drafting may assist Congress in its legislative activities.” 1st of a 7 part series. https://lnkd.in/g-VMxsHQ
