Pendakwaan kedua terhadap Donald Trump: Perbedaan antara revisi

Presiden Amerika Serikat dapat dicopot dari jabatannya, dalam hal ini Wakil Presiden otomatis akan menjadi presiden, alih-alih hanya mengemban wewenang dan tugas kepresidenan sebagai penjabat presiden. Sementara Pasal II Konstitusi menyatakan bahwa "Wewenang dan Kewajiban" presiden diserahkan kepada wakil presiden jika presiden meninggal dunia, mengundurkan diri, ketidakmampuan atau pemecatan, presiden ke-10 [[John Tyler]] menafsirkan ketentuan itu mengizinkan Wakil Presiden naik ke kursi kepresidenan dalam hal seperti itu tanpa kualifikasi apapun jua. Praktik ini dikodifikasi pada 1967 dengan berlalunya Amendemen ke-25.
