Note: Article II, section 1, of the Constitution was affected by the 25th amendment.

Section 1.

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

Section 2.

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Section 3.

Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

Section 4.

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

注：憲法第2条第1節は、修正第25条の影響を受けたんや。

第1節

大統領がクビになったり、死んだり辞めたりした場合、副大統領が大統領になるんや。

第2節

副大統領の仕事に空きができた場合、大統領は、連邦議会の両方の議院の半分より多い票の承認で就任する副大統領を指名するんやで。

第3節

大統領が、上院臨時議長と下院議長に対して、自分がその仕事の権限と義務をやることができへん旨の書面での宣言を送ったときは、反対の宣言を送るまで、これらの権限と義務は、副大統領によって大統領代行としてやられるんや。

第4節

副大統領と行政の各部の長官の半分より多いか、連邦議会が法律で決める他の機関の半分より多いが、上院臨時議長と下院議長に対して、大統領がその仕事の権限と義務をやることができへん旨の書面での宣言を送ったときは、副大統領は、すぐに大統領代行としてその仕事の権限と義務を引き受けるんやで。

その後、大統領が、上院臨時議長と下院議長に対して、仕事ができへんのが存在せえへん旨の書面での宣言を送ったときは、副大統領と行政の各部の長官の半分より多いか、連邦議会が法律で決める他の機関の半分より多いが、4日以内に、上院臨時議長と下院議長に対して、大統領がその仕事の権限と義務をやることができへん旨の書面での宣言を送らへん限り、大統領は、その仕事の権限と義務をもう一回始めるんや。その後、連邦議会は、この問題を決めるんやな。連邦議会は、会期中やない場合、この目的で48時間以内に集まるんや。連邦議会が、後の方の書面での宣言を受け取ってから21日以内に、連邦議会が会期中やない場合、連邦議会が集まることを要求されてから21日以内に、両方の議院の3分の2の投票で、大統領がその仕事の権限と義務をやることができへんと決めた場合、副大統領は、大統領代行としてその仕事を引き続きやるんやで。そうやない場合、大統領は、その仕事の権限と義務をもう一回始めるんや。
