Chapter XCVII: Section 6: This article shall be inoperative unless it shall

have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission.

Extension of Presidential Succession

Pursuant to the authority conferred upon it by section 3 of this amendment, Congress shaped the Presidential Succession Act of 1948[1] to meet the situation which would arise from the failure of both President elect and Vice President elect to qualify on or before the time fixed for the beginning of the new Presidential term.
