Publisher's Synopsis

For these reasons, the Miller Center turned to a group of outstanding medical, legal and political authorities to broaden and deepen understanding on presidential disability.

Thompson. The "Report of the Miller Center Commission on Presidential Disability and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment" is included as an annex. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.
