Presidential Succession

Constitution, Congress and National SecurityJohn Wohlstetter

Presidential Succession traces the history from the 1787 founding of the American constitutional republic to the present. It covers the relevant provisions of the Constitution, associated laws, and how they worked in practice. It also traces the history of presidential protection, with special emphasis on the evolving role of the Secret Service, plus sections on continuity of government and mass casualty events. The author offers conclusions and recommendations for addressing unresolved problems.
