<P> No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office . </P> <P> The Act is also controversial because it provides that a cabinet officer can serve as Acting President only until a new Speaker of the House or a new President Pro Tempore of the Senate is chosen, who would then replace him as Acting President . This is sometimes referred to as "bumping" and appears to contradict the text of the Constitution, which says (in Article II, Section 1, Clause 6): </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td>... and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected . </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td>... and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected . </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr>
