Section 1 establishes that in case of the President's removal from office, death, or resignation, the Vice President becomes President.
Sections 2 through 4 outline processes for filling a Vice Presidential vacancy and for voluntarily or involuntarily transferring power to the Vice President as Acting President during presidential disability.
