TL;DRAbstract

The problem of presidential illness, disability, or succession raises serious concerns about leadership performance and the conduct of American foreign and domestic policy. Several concerns are posed by impaired leadership, including the public's right to know about a leader's health, especially in a democracy; the physician's dual role as doctor and citizen; and the implications that such limitations might pose for public policy. This problem is neither rare nor trivial.
