	Reagan transfer of power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reagan was advised he could undergo surgery immediately or in two to three weeks.
		Reagan then consulted with White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan, Attorney General Ed Meese, legal counsel Fred Fielding and others, most of whom recommended the invocation of the amendment.
		While Reagan thought it might set an undesirable precedent to invoke the amendment, ultimately the decision was made to transfer power and two letters were drafted: one that explicitly invoked Section 3 of the 25th amendment, and one which did not.

		Reagan feared that the US was losing the Cold War with the USSR because the American military was much less prepared for war than the Soviet army.
		Reagan's domestic policies hinged on massive reductions in government spending and a transfer of power to the states.

		Fielding and White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan both recommended that Reagan transfer power, and two letters doing so were drafted: the first specifically referencing Section 3 of the 25th amendment, the second not.
		Due to some confusing language and Reagan's failure to specifically mention Section 3 of the amendment (see Reagan transfer of power letters) in his letter, some constitutional scholars have claimed that Reagan did not actually transfer his power to Bush.
		Aware of the confusion caused by Reagan's somewhat cryptic 1985 letter transferring power, Bush's letter made a point of specifically citing Section 3 of the 25th amendment in his letter transferring power.

	Reagan UFO Story
		The CIA said of Reagan "he had the least experience as a regular consumer of national-level intelligence of any President elected since the CIA was formed." In addition, CIA reports claimed that Reagan was not keen on long involved briefings, which limited how much he was told.
		Reagan felt that the offers for daily intelligence briefings from the Carter CIA people probably wouldn’t be needed, because there wasn’t anything Reagan needed that he couldn’t learn reading the newspaper.
		Reagan would have active input into the drafts of the speeches prepared for him, but other than this input he basically read whatever was given to him by the Communications Office.

	Carol P. Araullo: People Power revisited
		People power then was acclaimed as the most direct expression of the people’s longing for sweeping reforms both in government and in society.
		More insidious is the propaganda that people power is passé, that the people have grown tired and cynical of mass actions and demonstrations that herald people power and that going out into the streets to protest does not achieve anything except tie up traffic.
		They want the next people power uprising to bring about more substantial and meaningful changes in their lives and in the direction this country is taking compared to the earlier people power exercises.

		Schiavo, it is a public policy that shrinks the decision-making powers of private decision-makers, and necessarily transfers those decisions from private hands to those of the state.
		The over-riding principle that is cited in favor of this transfer of power to the state is the protection of life.
		Nobody is willing to take that step, so advocates for the transfer of power to the state are left in the position of arguing that some decisions that you can make for yourself should never be made by your surrogate, but should be made by the state instead.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Acting President of the United States
		Ostensibly to be used in the event of a President's complete mental or physical disability, this method of transferring presidential power has never been used - no doubt in part because it could appear to the American public as a "legal coup d'etat".
		Though Reagan was clearly seen by his staff, Cabinet members and others as incapacitated, Vice President George H. Bush refused to join the Cabinet in invoking the 25th amendment, feeling it would be akin to a coup d'etat.
		Reagan would eventually recover, but nearly a quarter century later it is widely believed by constitutional scholars that the amendment should have been invoked during Reagan's recovery period.

		Under the 25th amendment, whenever there is a vacancy in the office of Vice President of the United States, the President nominates a successor, who is confirmed by the majority vote of both houses of Congress.
		The 25th amendment is supplemented by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, which establishes a line of succession to the powers and duties of the Presidency.
		Because it involves the (potentially dramatic) devices of incapacitation of the President of the United States and Presidential succession, the 25th Amendment has proven attractive to directors and authors as either a central plot point or a dramatic device to create tension.
