Does the 25th Amendment still affect the USA ?

Answer 1

still the law of the land!
Amendment XXV
(The proposed amendment was sent to the states July 6, 1965, by the Eighty-ninth Congress. It was ratified Feb. 10, 1967.)

Section 1

[Succession of vice president to presidency.]

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.


Section 2

[Vacancy in office of vice president.]

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.


Section 3

[Vice president as acting president.]

Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.


Section 4

[Vice president as acting president.]

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office

Answer 2

Yes, it is still in effect. The 25th Amendment was added to clarify the succession of power for the office of the President if both the President and Vice President are unable to continue to serve. Clearly if the President is killed, removed from office, or resigned, the Vice President would become President. The Vice President would then be allowed to choose a new Vice President with Senate confirmation. If a circumstance arises where both the Vice President and President are killed, resigned, or removed from office, then the Speaker of the House becomes President.

The 25th Amendment also allows for a President to temporarily relinquish executive power to the Vice President (as has been done many times) and allows the President to be deemed unfit to contiune to hold the office of President and removed by the majority of his/her Cabinet (this has never been done).

Answer 3

25th amendment clarifies the ambiguous provision regarding the succession for President and Vice President. There is an effect on the US government in case the President is impeached especially that the Democrats are entertaining the issue.
