Which amendment sets forth the presidential line of succession and procedures for presidential disability?

• A. The Twenty-Second Amendment
• B. The Twenty-Three Amendment
• C. The Twenty-Fifth Amendment
• D. The Twenty-Sixth Amendment

Answer: (C)

The essential idea here is how leadership transfers when the president can’t perform duties and how vacancies or disability are handled. The Twenty-Fifth Amendment explicitly provides the framework: if the President dies, resigns, or is removed, the Vice President becomes President. If there’s a vacancy in the vice presidency, the President nominates a replacement who takes office once confirmed by both Houses. For disability, the President may declare incapacity in writing, and the Vice President, together with a majority of the Cabinet (or such body Congress may authorize), can declare the President unable to discharge duties, making the Vice President the Acting President. The President can resume power by declaring capability, but if there’s a dispute, Congress decides with a two-thirds vote. The other amendments address different topics—term limits, DC electoral votes, and voting age—so they don’t establish these succession or disability procedures.
