- Abstract:
- Among the many perks of being a law professor is the platform it provides. When I am fired up about something, I can write about it-an oped, an article, or a book-and get it published. Such was the case in 2018. I got so tired of reading posts on social media misunderstanding Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment that I resolved to write a book. And I did.' Law professors also know that just because you write something does not mean that people will read it, understand it, and agree with it. Misconceptions about the Twenty-Fifth Amendment still abound. But I still like to chip away at them, putting as much good information out there as I can. That is why I am here today. I am going to address five common misconceptions about Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. Some of the things I will address are very basic. Others are more complicated. But all are too common, and given what is at stake here-control of the presidency in a crisis-it would be very helpful to the country if the public had an accurate understanding of these things.
