Yes the president would pass his "active presidency" to the vice president, however this would ONLY be true if it was a permanent incapacitation. ______________________________________________________ actually the 25th amendment says "if the president notifies congress of being unable to serve, the vice president becomes president until the president once again feels able to serve". which means it wouldn't ONLY be true if it was 'permanent incapacitation'
