The 25th Amendment: A Selective Annotated Bibliography

This selective bibliography is intended to assist legal researchers in researching the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.¹1 U.S. Const. amend. XXV; see generally, Congressional Research Service, Library of Congress, Constitution of the United States of America 484 (presidential disability and inability), 2295–2296 (presidential succession issues and the 20th Amendment); and 2317–2319 (issues of presidential inability and disability (Centennial ed. 2017). In addition to Article II, Clause 6, and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947,²2 Presidential Succession Act of 1947, Pub. L. No. 80???199, 61 Stat. 380, as amended (codified at 3?U.S.C. § 19 (2012)). the 25th Amendment is part of the fundamental law governing presidential succession in the United States. This bibliography compiles books, book chapters, and law review articles to facilitate legal research in this area.³3 U.S. Const. art. II, § 6. For a detailed account of the presidential succession issue, see Ruth Silva, Presidential Succession (U. Michigan Press 1951).

When ratified in 1967, the 25th Amendment culminated nearly 175 years of Congressional effort to resolve Constitutional vagueness on certain procedure involving the temporary or permanent incapacitation of the president. While the 25th amendment did not fundamentally change the constitutional procedure of presidential succession, it did significantly clarify areas of uncertainty with the purpose of complying with the apparent intentions of the Framers of the Constitution on presidential succession.⁴4 U.S. Const. art. II, § 6. For a detailed account of the presidential succession issue, see Ruth Silva, Presidential Succession (U. Michigan Press 1951).

Since Donald Trump became president in January 2017, there has been an ongoing public debate over his provocative rhetoric and actions, and his reportedly dysfunctional presidency. In 2017, for example, questions arose about his emotional stability when he apparently tweeted threatening language involving nuclear weapons in response to statements made by Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea.⁵5 Peter Baker &; Michael Tackett, Trump’s North Korea Retort: My “Nuclear Button” Is Bigger Than Yours, N.Y. Times A10 (Jan. 3, 2018).

In addition, significant concerns arose after an anonymous letter to the editor appeared in the New York Times, allegedly sent by a high-ranking administration official, stating he or she was part part of the “resistance” within the White House, which was attempting to block some of President Trump’s allegedly more dangerous actions. The author reported that there was a group of similarly situated White House officials who believe that the president was unfit for office and that there was an effort to remove Trump under the Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.⁶6 Anonymous, Letter to the Editor, The Quiet Resistance Inside the Trump Administration, N.Y. Times 23 (Sept. 6, 2018). More recently, former FBI Director Andrew McCabe revealed that Justice Department officials had sought to discuss the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment with cabinet officials.

Because of the critical importance of the issues involved for the nation today, this article includes sources discussing when the 25th Amendment can be invoked and whether Donald Trump’s pattern of statements and behavior could give cause to invoke the 25th Amendment. As current events suggest, the issue of whether Trump should be removed under the 25th Amendment is likely to remain an issue of public concern for the foreseeable future.     

Bilingual and Multilingual Legal Dictionaries in the European Union: An Updated Bibliography

This annotated bibliography is intended to shed light on the availability and distribution of legal dictionaries that translate the twenty-seven European languages. The representative corpus consists of about 200 printed bilingual legal dictionaries (BLDs) with terms from two or more legal languages used in the European Union. This bibliography aims to illustrate the wide variation in the quality of these BLDs by the usage of three special headings and by referring to relevant professional reviews. In addition, the authors have commented upon noticeable BLDs that deserve serious criticism or special attention. This annotated bibliography updates the previous bibliography (Gerard-René de Groot & Conrad J. P. van Laer. The Quality of Legal Dictionaries: An Assessment [Maastricht Faculty of Law Working Paper No. 2008/6, 2008]) and covers almost all recently published BLDs. However, this bibliography is not exhaustive because of the dispersion of publishing houses: Each publisher issues only two BLDs, on average.

International Business Dictionaries

International business dictionaries, both comprehensive and specialized, in English and in foreign languages, are basic requirements in business reference collections. However, very little has been written about them in standard business reference bibliographies and resource guides. This article exlplores the development of international business lexicography, leading up to a discussion of modern international business dictionaries, including their characteristics, acquisition, and availability in electronic format. An appendix of recent titles is attached.

A Companion Bibliography to:

Working with international students can be both rewarding and frustrating. In the companion article to this bibliography (in this same issue), we have suggested a model for building a program of library services for international students. The model advocates librarians taking action to instruct, to understand international students, and to assist them in overcoming cultural and functional barriers they may encounter in using an American academic library. This is an extensive, annotated bibliography to assist in designing and tailoring library services for specific international student populations.

古典目录学研究的新境界——徐有富教授《目录学与学术史》评介

徐有富教授的目录学新著《目录学与学术史》一书的出版将古典目录学的研究推到了一个新的境界。理论上,该书作者对历代目录所构成的通代学术史性质有着清醒的认识,认为“中国历代目录实际上就是中国学术史的缩影”。方法上,有两点值得注意：其一,精心选择富有代表性的目录著作进行目录学研究与宏观的学术史建构;其二,紧紧抓住目录本身的要素特点,精心设计研究论题,进行目录学与学术史的研究工作。成效上,表现为学术史研究内容的丰富与扩大。该书不可避免地存在着一些不足之处。参考文献12。
