The Seventy-Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1971, addresses the electoral process for the President and Vice President. It established that the Electoral College would continue to elect these officials, but it also clarified procedures for filling vacancies in the office of the Vice President. This amendment was significant in ensuring a clear process for succession and maintaining the integrity of the electoral system. It aimed to prevent confusion and ensure that the Vice President could be replaced promptly if necessary, thereby promoting stability in the executive branch of the government.
