The Twentieth Amendment addresses the following:
1. Presidential succession upon death: It specifies the procedures for determining a new president in the event of the current president's death.
2. The president's term of office during the lame duck period: It clarifies the start and end date of the president's term, ensuring that a president's term begins on January 20th following their election.
3. Vice president replacement upon their death or resignation: It establishes the process to fill the vacancy of the vice president in case of their death or resignation.
4. The number of years in office: The Twentieth Amendment does not specifically address the length of a president's term, as this is covered by the Twenty-Second Amendment, which limits presidents to serving a maximum of two terms.
