Question

1. presidential succession is the plan ____

for removing the vice president
for electing a vice president from the same party
for filling a vacancy in the presidency
for expanding presidential power

Explanation:

Presidential succession refers to the established order of who takes over the presidency if the current president is unable to fulfill their duties (e.g., death, resignation, incapacity). So we analyze each option:

• "for removing the Vice President": Presidential succession is not about removing the VP. Eliminate.
• "for electing a Vice President from the same party": Succession is not about electing a VP from the same party. Eliminate.
• "for filling a vacancy in the presidency": This matches the definition of presidential succession.
• "for expanding presidential power": Succession has nothing to do with expanding presidential power. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. for filling a vacancy in the presidency
