Presidential Succession

• The 25th Amendment says that the Vice President will become President if the President dies, resigns, or is removed from office.
• The 25th Amendment also outlines what happens if the President becomes disabled.
• Other than helping to decide about presidential disability, the Constitution assigns the Vice President only one role: presiding over the Senate.

The Electoral College

• The candidate with the most votes became President, and the runner-up became Vice President

SECTION 5
The Election
![Page 14: Chapter 13 The Presidency - Denton Independent … 13 The Presidency SECTION 1 The President’s Job Description The Constitution grants the President six of is eight roles. •ch](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051407/5ae505167f8b9ae1578bc0c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Election Day
• every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November
• the electorate—the voters—are really voting for electors pledged to support a particular candidate
– 48 States use a winner-take-all system; the candidate with the most votes all of the State’s electoral votes
– Maine and Nebraska use a district system to allot electoral votes
• Congress counts the electoral votes and declares a winner
• if no candidate receives a majority of the votes, the House of Representatives elects the President

Problems
• it is possible for the winner of the popular vote not to become President
• nothing forces a State’s electors to vote for the candidate who wins the State’s popular vote
• a strong third-party candidate could win enough votes to prevent any candidate from winning a majority
