Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

1. The 20th, 22nd, and 25th Amendments lay out the line of succession for the office of President.
   False. The 20th Amendment addresses the terms of the President and Vice President, the start and end dates of their terms, and provisions for what happens if a President-elect dies before taking office. The 22nd Amendment limits Presidents to two terms in office. The 25th Amendment outlines presidential succession and procedures for replacing a President or Vice President in the event of death or incapacity, but the line of succession itself is defined by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, not solely by these amendments.

2. There are both formal and informal qualifications to becoming President.
   True. There are formal qualifications as outlined in the Constitution (be at least 35 years old, be a natural-born citizen, and have been a resident of the U.S. for at least 14 years). Informal qualifications can include factors like political experience, personality traits, and other societal characteristics that may influence a candidate's viability.

3. The President's cabinet assists him/her by advising on policy matter and leading executive departments.
   True. The President's cabinet is composed of the heads of the executive departments and other key officials. They advise the President on various policy matters and manage their respective departments.

4. Presidents are limited to three terms of office.
   False. The 22nd Amendment limits Presidents to two terms in office. There are no provisions for a three-term limit in the Constitution.

So, the overall answers are:

1. False
2. True
3. True
4. False
