12TH Amendment- Set in place where both president and vice president are voted on independently in the electoral vote. Previously each elector cast two votes for President, the one with the most votes was the president and the person with the second most votes was vice president. Today each set is informally voted together by parties. Proposed 12-9-1803 ratified 6-15-1804.
20th Amendment- Changed the day the president took office, moved it up so we wouldn’t have a “lame duck” presidency for an extended time. It also put in place a process to replace the president if he died before he took office. Proposed 3-2-1932 ratified 1-23-1933.
22nd Amendment- Stipulated that no president may serve more than two elected terms. The maximum a person can serve is two and just under half terms. Franklin Roosevelt was actually elected to four terms before this amendment took place. Proposed 3-24-1947 ratified 2-27-1951.
25th Amendment- Cleared up Article 2 of the constitution by stipulating the process of the Vice-president taking office. Also provided the process on how Vice-presidents can be selected if they die or are removed during the term. Proposed 7-6-1965 ratified 2-10-1967.
