Some of these vacuums are created only in the minds of lawyers. If the law is that the president is unable to perform his duties then with modern means of communication that's not ever going to happen unless both are unconscious. For now the president even if he joins the space expedition he can still perform so what's the big deal?

This is the foolishness I hate about we Ghanaians. The fact that it has happened before (the President and the VP absent at the same time and someone acting on their behalf without being sworn in) does not mean that it is right. We should adhere to the constitution. I don't understand why we always want to break the law. If the political leadership does not obey the law the populous will do the same.

THE BAD BANKRUPT ECONOMIC AND DEPRIVED STATUS THEY'VE PLUNGED GHANA INTO IS NONE IF THEIR WORRY.

MOST OF GHANA'S LEADERS HAVE PRIVATE HOMES ABROAD, SO THE MORE THEY ROT GHANA, THE MORE OFTEN AND LONGER THEY STAY ABROAD, ALL AT THE POOR GHANAIAN TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.

THAT'S WHY GHANA IS CONSTANTLY BANKRUPT AND ALWAYS CHASING THE IMF AND OTHERS FOR LOANS IN THE MIDST OF COUNTLESS NATURAL RESOURCES.

Speaker of Parliament sworn - in as Acting President
“The Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, was today (Sunday) sworn in as the acting President of Ghana an emergency sitting of Parliament.

The swearing in administered by the Chief Justice, Mrs Justice Sophia Akuffo, was in conformity with the constitutional requirement, which provides for the swearing in of the Speaker in the absence of the President and the Vice President.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is attending the inauguration of George Weah as President of Liberia, while Vice President Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia is on medical leave in the United Kingdom (UK).”
