In this episode of The Valley Current\u00ae, Jack Russo examines one of the most uncomfortable constitutional questions of our time: what happens when the people entrusted with the nation's highest offices begin to lose the cognitive capacity those roles demand? From the 25th Amendment to the life tenure of federal judges, the discussion explores why America's legal safeguards often fall short when mental decline is suspected. Jack also unpacks the extraordinary case of Judge Pauline Newman, the growing gap between lifespan and &quot;brain span,&quot; and why public opinion is a poor substitute for legal process. For corporate boards, family offices, and government leaders alike, the lesson is clear: succession planning is far easier than a constitutional crisis.
