Če v času, določenem za začetek mandata predsednika, izvoljeni predsednik umre, izvoljeni podpredsednik postane predsednik. Če predsednik ne bo izbran pred rokom, določenim za začetek njegovega mandata, ali če izvoljeni predsednik ni uspel, se izvoli podpredsednik, dokler predsednik ne izpolni kvalifikacij; in kongres lahko z zakonom določi primer, v katerem ne izvoli nobenega predsednika niti izvoljenega podpredsednika, ne more biti usposobljen in razglasiti, kdo bo nato nastopil za predsednika, ali način, na katerega bo izbran tisti, ki bo nastopal, in ta oseba ravnati v skladu s tem, dokler se predsednik ali podpredsednik ne usposobi.	If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Oddelek 4	Section 4.
Kadar podpredsednik in večina glavnih uradnikov izvršnih oddelkov ali drugega organa, kot je Kongres, lahko z zakonom določi, pošljejo predsedniku pro tempore senat in predsedniku predstavniškega doma svojo pisno izjavo, da Predsednik ne more opravljati pooblastil in dolžnosti svojega urada, podpredsednik takoj prevzame pooblastila in naloge urada kot vršilec dolžnosti predsednika.	Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Potem, ko predsednik predsednika senata in predsednika predstavniškega doma posreduje predsedniku pro tempore svojo pisno izjavo, da ni nesposobnosti, nadaljuje s pooblastili in dolžnostmi svojega urada, razen če podpredsednik in večina večine glavni uslužbenci izvršnega oddelka ali drugega organa, kot je Kongres, lahko z zakonom določijo, da v štirih dneh predsedniku senata in predsedniku predstavniškega doma posredujejo pisno izjavo, da predsednik ne more podeliti pooblastil in dolžnosti njegovega urada. Potem kongres o tem odloči in se v ta namen sestavi v osemindvajsetih urah, če ne na seji. Če kongres v enaindvajsetih dneh po prejemu slednje pisne izjave ali, če Kongres ne zaseda, v enaindvajsetih dneh po zasedanju kongresa, z dvotretjinskimi glasovi obeh parlamentov odloči, da predsednik če ne more opravljati pooblastil in dolžnosti svojega urada, podpredsednik še naprej opravlja funkcijo vršilca ​​dolžnosti; v nasprotnem primeru predsednik obnovi pristojnosti in dolžnosti svojega urada.	Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
