The Vice President and Succession

Question 9 • FL-2106020-M/J Civics Advanced Q2 Teacher-Led Remediation

Per Section 2 of the 25th Amendment, what condition must be met prior to the confirmation of a new vice president?

Answer
A
The Supreme Court must confirm the nominee.
B
Congress must approve of the nominee with a two-thirds vote.
C
Congress must interview and approve the nominee with a majority vote.
D
The president must present the vice president to the general public in an official announcement.

Explanation

Section 2 of the 25th Amendment says a vice-presidential vacancy is filled when the president nominates someone and that nominee is confirmed by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. Thus, the best match is Congress interviewing and approving the nominee with a majority vote. The amendment does not require Supreme Court confirmation or a two-thirds vote.
