The 25th Amendment to the Constitution was necessary to provide for the order of succession if something happened to both the president and vice-president. Article II of the Constitution didn't provide a definitive succession past the first two officials. The amendment was adopted on February 23, 1967.

The Twenty-Fifth Amendment was proposed and ratified following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. This tragic event made it apparent that there needed to be a definitive line of succession to the presidency.

The 25th amendment to the Constitution was adopted to resolve ambiguities in the constitution about when a President would be declared unable to discharge his duties, and about who would succeed him as President.
