McDonald's corporate has introduced new policies that prevent successful franchisees from automatically passing their businesses to their children, citing a need for "diverse and inclusive" ownership.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a bill to create a standing commission on presidential capacity under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
