Eisenhower Faces House Rift Over Presidential Disability
President Eisenhower and Attorney General Rogers advocate a constitutional amendment to handle presidential incapacity. Senate leaders split with House Speaker Rayburn who argues no amendment is needed and favors letting Congress act. The plan could let a recovered president reclaim duties with seven days notice unless a vice president's challenge passes a two thirds vote. Senator O Mahoney backs the president as correct on the issue.
