Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution addresses presidential incapacity. It is an important but widely misunderstood provision, and it has never been used. This book gives readers a clear, accessible, even-handed explanation of Section 4 - how it would work and how it would not work.
MoreLong description:
Since the election of President Donald Trump, the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution-covering presidential incapacity-has been a frequent topic of public discussion. Meanwhile, Section 4 has become a mainstay in television dramas, which usually represents it inaccurately.
The country needs this complicated but essential topic explained.Unable: The Law, Politics, and Limits of Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment is designed to educate and inform the public about Section 4 in an evenhanded and accessible way. This book is not about President Trump; it offers no opinions on his fitness for office. By the end of the book, though, it will be clear how Section 4 applies to him, as well as to any other president.
If your thoughts have wandered to the subject of how to remove the President, Unable couldn't be more timely. With this deep dive into Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, Brian Kalt exposes the misunderstandings and hyperbole of the law in precise, often humorous, and very readable detail. Lawmakers, Cabinet officials, and partisans on both sides should find themselves reaching for this book.
