Debate on presidential succession and disability amendment
A Senate Judiciary subcommittee favors a constitutional amendment to allow the president to fill a vice presidential vacancy with Senate and House approval. They also back empowering the president to delegate powers to the vice president during incapacity with Congress finalizing the determination. The panel, chaired by Birch Bayh, expects formal action Wednesday and notes similarity to American Bar Association proposals.
