The correct answer is **C. the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, concerning vacancies in the presidency**.
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment provides procedures for the removal of the president if the president is unable to perform their duties, either due to incapacity or otherwise, allowing for the vice president and a majority of the cabinet (or another body established by Congress) to declare the president unfit for duty.
