Superfluous Twenty-Fifth Amendmend Replaced Constitution's Article II Clause VI
Claim is that Clause VI is not clear enough on the succession of Presidency in cases of injury, resignation, or other forms of incapacitation of a sitting President - when in reality Clause VI instructs on the subject and is specific enough to differentiate among these cases.
Clause VI is clear in mentioning that in all of these cases, the incapacitation/suspension/resignation of the President's Office also devolves to Office of the Vice President, thus rendering currently adopted amendment unconstitutional.
It also prudently allows the Congress to make the selection of an "acting" President from a pool of people loosely referred to as "Officer", until return of sitting President to health or an election.
