Section 3 of the 25th Amendment covers what happens when the President decides to temporarily give up power. This might happen if the President is ill or undergoing a medical procedure where he'll be incapacitated and temporarily unable to perform his duties as president.
The President must declare this decision in writing to the President pro tempore of the Senate (the second-highest-ranking official in the Senate) and the Speaker of the House of Representatives (the leader of the House of Reps).
When this happens, the** Vice President takes over the duties of the president and the president (although he remains in office) has no authority. **To regain his authority, the president must put into writing that he is again fit to act as president.
