Presidential Disability Bill Work Begins
A House subcommittee begins work on proposals for a law to allow a vice president to act temporarily if a president is disabled. Speaker Rayburn opposes any legislation that could imply a president plans to resign. President Eisenhower calls such rumors the worst he has heard. The committee plans three main paths including a constitutional amendment, a simple law, or commissions to judge disability.
