Constitutional amendments.
Presidents -- Succession -- United States.
But differences within the Senate quickly surfaced. Senator Keating had been defeated in the November election, but his objections were taken up by Roman Hruska, a new member of the subcommittee, during the January 29 hearings. Bayh’s notes indicate that the full range of concerns about language resurfaced as well. Nevertheless S. J. Res. 1 was reported out to the full Judiciary Committee on February 1 with a text identical to what had been approved by the Senate the previous October.

Constitutional amendments.
Presidents -- Succession -- United States.
In the House, 32 proposals regarding Presidential succession had been introduced. Hearings were scheduled to begin February 7 before the full House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Emmanuel Celler, on the first day of which Bayh was to appear. In preparation his staff forwarded possible supportive questions to Indiana congressman Winfield Denton, but Bayh found himself instead fielding continuous challenges to the wording of various sections arising from numerous hypothetical scenarios that members felt were not adequately addressed. The House hearings continued for 17 days and generated 292 printed pages of testimony.

Bayh notes from conference committee
Constitutional amendments.
Presidents -- Succession -- United States.
Three areas of disagreement emerged between House and Senate versions, all involving time: the period of time during which the vice president and cabinet must decide whether they disagree with the president’s declaration that he is fit to resume his duties (two days versus seven); the time before Congress convenes to resolve the issue between the president and the vice president and cabinet (48 hours versus the less specific “immediately”); and the time-limit for Congress to reach a decision (10 days versus no specific time limit). Bayh’s notes hint at the hypothetical situations posed in order to test the two versions
