1) Whenever the office of President of the United States becomes vacant due to
“removal ... death or resignation” of the chief executive, the Constitution provides
that “the Vice President shall become President.”

2) The Twenty-fifth Amendment was an effort to resolve some of the continuing issues revolving about the office of the President; that is, what happens upon the death, removal, or resignation of the President and what is the course to follow if for some reason the President becomes disabled to such a degree that he cannot fulfill his responsibilities?

3) Since 1789, Vice Presidents have succeeded to the presidency on nine
occasions, eight times due to the death of the incumbent, and once due to resignation
(see Table 1). The vice presidency has become vacant on 18 occasions since 1789.
Nine of these occurred when the Vice President succeeded to the presidency; seven
resulted from the death of the incumbent; and two were due to resignation

1. False. "In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President."

2. Partially true. It set for the next in line for succession. The 20th Amendment sets for the remainder of the rules, and states that Congress may establish succession by statute.

3. False. The 1800s were a messy time, what with civil war and the country being just a couple decades old.

number 1) false. the Vice president merely needs to be sworn in to offically become president. . In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
that is part of the 25th amendment.

number 2) true. as stated above.

number 3) open to piont of view. In my opinion it is true, but then again a few presidents in the 19th century made several compromises to try and placate congress. the executive office itself was never changed, just the individuals who occupied it.
