The paragraph was revised
It was Dwight D. Eisenhower’s illness during his presidency in the 1950s that prompted the revision of Article 25 of the Constitution, which governs the transition from one president to another. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack, stroke and chronic inflammation of the stomach and intestines for which he underwent surgery. But it was not until after the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963 that two additions were made to section 25, number three and number four. They were approved by Congress in 1965 and ratified by the required majority, two-thirds of the United States, in 1967.

When Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, a letter about the transfer of power to the vice president was written, but never sent to Congress.
Big break in the electoral campaign
