I just want to point out, for those who think that we would never have a country run by proxy with Joe being a figurehead due to illness, that historically this has happened before. Woodrow Wilson suffered stroke, and basically his wife was president for many, many months as Wilson was unable to fill the role of his office.
So much for the 25th amendment I guess.
Woodrow Wilson was president before the 25th was passed. They passed that after Truman was president. First, there was no method to replace a VP after the VP became president, an that's when they prevented a 3rd term after FDR. They threw that odd provision in there about incapacitation as well, planning ahead I guess.
