Papers on Presidential Disability and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment: By Six Medical, Legal and Political Authorities

By Kenneth W. Thompson

For these reasons, the Miller Center turned to a group of outstanding medical, legal and political authorities to broaden and deepen understanding on presidential disability.
