Burns Proposes Presidential Disability Commission
James MacGregor Burns argues in the Saturday Evening Post for a presidential disability commission headed by the Chief Justice with Cabinet leaders and congressional leaders to certify disability and appoint an acting or full president. The plan includes a physician panel, potential constitutional amendment, and cautions about vice presidential choices amid possible assassinations. Similar ideas appear from Hofstader and Dinnes in the ABA.
