CHAPTER

Presidential Resignations and Transitions of Power

The chapter explores the historical context of American presidents' decisions regarding resignations and transitions of power, from Woodrow Wilson to the present day. Themes of virtuous resignation, the significance of a peaceful transfer of power, and the importance of vice presidential selection are discussed, along with the application of the 25th Amendment. Analogies to sports plays like the Flea Flicker are used to illustrate complex constitutional rules in a more accessible manner.
