No, YOU read the Constitution.

That has been said twice already on this thread and it is absolutely 100% false.

What cannot happen is that Electors for President and Vice President cannot vote for two individuals from their own state.

Therefore, if an election were close, it would be UNWISE to nominate two Texans or two Floridians (or two Californians) since one of the two would lose the electoral votes from their home state.

But if two residents of the same state can overcome that problem, then they absolutely can be President and Vice President, that does not involve the Constitution at all.
