No sooner was the President's press conference over last week than there were noisy complaints from Congress, where Democratic leaders have argued that the problems of disability-succession should be solved, not by constitutional amendment, but by statute—preferably one which gives Congress a say in the decision about when a President is actually disabled. The Administration is almost certain to veto any such statute, mostly on grounds that the statute itself might be found unconstitutional, thereby invalidating the official acts of a Vice President exercising presidential powers. Yet in that very argument, the Administration raised an even more basic question: If a statute would probably be found unconstitutional, then how could a mere semiprivate agreement between a President and a Vice President escape the possibility of invalidation by the Supreme Court?
