How the 25th Amendment Section 4 Is Invoked - Visual Guide #3566724 (License: Personal Use)

This infographic illustrates the procedural mechanism under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, where the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet jointly submit a written declaration to Congress asserting the President’s inability to perform duties. Upon submission, the President may contest the claim, leading to a 21-day congressional decision period; if Congress concurs by two-thirds majorities in both chambers, the Vice President assumes acting presidency. The visual emphasizes constitutional checks and balances in crisis scenarios.
