What Was The Importance Of The 25th Amendment
The Constitution of the United States holds 27 amendments in total, all important to the governing of this country. The first was created on September 25th, 1789. Though, the one that we will be focusing on in this paper will be the 25th Amendment, ratified on February 10, 1967, and certified by President Lyndon Johnson on February 23, 1967. It talks about the rules of succession in the Government and what to do if a president gets impeached, dies, becomes incapacitated, or resigns.

Whatever it is, your experiences, and your findings shape the way you think. This is what makes the government entitled to take your vote and opinion into consideration, everybody is different, and that is important to the fabric of our country.
The line of succession is straight forward, though keep in mind if one of the officers is not born on US ground, they cannot become president, therefor the title will be passed on to the next person in line.
