The purpose of the 25th Amendment is to ___.

a. legally state that the vice president shall become president upon vacancy of that office

b. limit the vice president's number of terms

c. define the order of succession following the vice president

d. define the vice president's duties

a. legally state that the vice president shall become president upon vacancy of that office

Let's look at the first section of this Amendment:

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