What amendments relate to the offices of president and vice president and how?

In 1804, the 12th Amendment changed the way the Vice President is elected. Before 1804, there was no separate ballot for vice presidents; each elector cast two votes for president, and whoever came in second in the presidential election was the vice president. Since 1804, separate votes are cast for president and for vice president. In 1933, the 20th Amendment changed the start and end dates of the presidential and vice presidential terms. From 1793 through 1933, with one minor exception, all presidential terms began on March 4 following each presidential election and ended four years later on March 3. Beginning with President Roosevelt's and Vice President Garner's second inaugurations in 1937, all presidential and vice presidential terms begin and end at noon (American Eastern Time) on January 20 following the election. In 1951, the 22nd Amendment limited the number of times a person can be elected president to two (one if the person served more than two years of a presidential term to which someone else was elected). The 23rd Amendment gave the District of Columbia the right to appoint electors to the electoral college beginning with the election of 1964. In 1967, the 25th Amendment (1) put Tyler's Precedent into writing (when the president dies or resigns the vice president becomes president), (2) provided for a replacement when the office of the vice president is vacated, (3) provided for the vice president to act as president when the President is temporarily incapacitated, and (4) made it possible for the Vice President and the Cabinet to remove a president from office due to disability. Some constitutional amendments affect the public's right to vote. Although the public does not elect the president or vice president, they do now elect all of the people who do elect them, so I'll list those amendments, too: In 1870, the 15th Amendment gave former slaves and other blacks the right to vote. In 1920, the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. In 1964, the 24th Amendment made poll taxes illegal. In 1971, the 26th Amendment lowered the minimum voting age from 21 to 18.
