Section three of the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution addresses the qualifications for members of Congress and the presidency but does not specifically mention secession. The amendment primarily deals with the terms of office and the procedures for handling vacancies and the transition of power. While it establishes important protocols, it does not provide a legal framework or commentary on the issue of secession itself. Issues of secession are more directly addressed in the context of the Civil War and subsequent legal interpretations rather than in the 20th Amendment.
