Social Sciences - Law (general)
Spanish term or phrase: Ley de Acefalía
I'd be really grateful for the precise term in English


Although the **Ley de Acefalía** authorized the new President to complete De la Rua´s mandate, the loss of prestige of the political leadership persuaded Duhalde to call for elections.

Thanks in advance

agree  Charles Davis: I'd suggest Law of Presidential Succession, which is what it's about (succession alone might be misunderstood). The exact equivalent US Statute is called the Presidential Succession Act of 1947.
