The 25th Amendment, proposed by Congress and ratified by
the states in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy,
provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the
event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation [including mental
incapacitation -- see January 26, 2018 explanation]. The Watergate scandal of
the 1970s saw the application of these procedures, first when Gerald Ford
replaced Spiro Agnew as vice president, then when he replaced Richard Nixon as
president, and then when Nelson Rockefeller filled the resulting vacancy to
become the vice president.

January 26: Could the 25th Amendment Be
Trump's Downfall? Here's How It Works
He couldn’t have put it more plainly. On April 13, 1965, in the midst of a
congressional debate over the proposed 25th Amendment to the Constitution
dealing with presidential succession and incapacity, the chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, Representative Emanuel Celler of New York, dispensed with
high-minded legal arguments. They were there, Celler said, to figure out what
might be done if the unthinkable–a deranged American President with nuclear
weapons–became thinkable. “The President may be as nutty as a fruitcake,” Celler
declared on the House floor. “He may be utterly insane.” And for this reason,
America needed a plan.
