Whom ever may check all these questions God Bless You Always
I've only checked the first 25 answers. I only disagree with your answers for #s 13, 27, and 24.
I checked the rest of your answers -- and I only disagree with your answer of the 9th Amendment in # 3.
for number 13 it was in my textbook here's what it says:
In Case of Removal of the president from office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the vice president ,and the congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the president and vice president, declaring what officer shall then act as president, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
For when you put 13,24,27 I have no 27th questions it stops at 25
Check this article about the 25th Amendment, the presidential succession act of 1947.
