"24" and the 25th ammendment . . . Again

Well, looks like the writers of Fox's 24 have run out of ideas, yet again. Afterall, when you run every conceivable terrorist plot in only 6 hours, you got no choice but to rehash old stuff.

So here again we have the specter of the 25th ammendment. The President is incapacitate and now the ammendment has to be invoked. This happed two seasons ago on 24 and also on West Wing, within episodes of each other too, if I recall correctly.

But 24 can be forgiven, the past two episodes have been particularly good, at least much better than the crap that passed for TV viewing the first few weeks. My main beef with 24 this season is this, just how is it possible for one man, Habib Marwan, in a fairly limited locale, with no apparent government backing, elude and carry out all these terrorist attacks? No human being is that resourcefull. After a while it gets silly

Well on the 25th ammendment here's some stuff:

From Answers.com: Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Amendment XXV to the U.S. Constitution
Passed by Congress July 6, 1965. Ratified February 10, 1967.

Note:
Article II, section 1, of the Constitution was affected by the 25th amendment.

Section 1

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Section 3

Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

Section 4

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Here's Article II concerning The Executive Branch and relevant ammendments including the 25th.
