Can’t be Leni. They can’t be from same state. Remember who moved back to his second home/ranch in WY.? P & VP must be from different states

"P & VP must be from separate states"

Urban myth.

Neither the Constitution nor the Electoral College prevents a presidential candidate from picking a fellow-state resident or any candidate from his same state as a Veep running-mate.

Again, there is NO law or regulation preventing a P & VP ticket consisting of two individuals from the same state.

"We actually flirted with the problem in the 2000 election where both George W. Bush and Dick Cheney had called Texas home in the run-up to the nomination.

"Cheney sidestepped and obviated the issue by voluntarily registering to vote in Wyoming, the state he once represented in the House."

Again, there's no law nor is there anything in the Constitution that prohibits the presidential nominee and the veep he selects to run as a ticket.
