	United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It also provides for the office of Vice President of the United States, and specifies that the Vice President succeeds to the presidency if the President is incapacitated, dies, or resigns, although whether this succession was on an acting or permanent basis was unclear until the passage of the 25th Amendment.
		This means that the states' constitutions and laws should not conflict with the laws of the federal constitution-- and that in case of a conflict, state judges are legally bound to honor the federal laws and constitution over those of any state.
		In any case, all the states did ratify the Constitution, and a government has been operating under its provisions for over two centuries-- however their original intent is in dispute, and they have thus "operated" under the threat of force since at least 1861.

	Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amendment XX (the Twentieth Amendment) of the United States Constitution, also called The Lame Duck Amendment, establishes some details of presidential succession and of the beginning and ending of the terms of elected federal officials.
		Under the Constitution as originally adopted, the terms of the President and the Congress began on March 4th, four months after the elections were held.
		While this lapse was a practical necessity during the 18th century, at which time a newly elected official might need several months to put his affairs in order and then undertake the arduous journey from his home to the national capital, it had the effect of impeding the functioning of government in the modern age.
