Trump & DeSantis cannot run on the same ticket
Both are from the same state.
Cheney was a resident of Texas when he was asked to join W’s ticket. He simply changed his residence again. Amazing how that can be done.
Not correct.
There is nothing in the law that prevents DeSantis and Trump from running on the same ticket.
1. It wouldn't be a smart thing to do anyway, because the Constitution would restrict Florida electors (only) from voting for both of them, and that could bring unnecessary complications in a tight election.
2. Why are so many people here on FR so dumb to believe that Trump is imprisoned in Florida, and couldn't legally change his state of residence over the course of about 48 hours?
Technically, both people on the ticket can be from the same state. There’s no rule against it. But there is a rule that an elector can’t vote for two candidates both from the elector’s state, so if Trump and Desantis are vote Floridians, then Florida’s electoral votes can’t got to both. In a race where FL’s electoral votes are greater than or equal to the margin of victory, this could cause the Dem VP candidate to be elected along with Trump.
I understand how easy it was for Dick Cheney to become a Wyoming guy again. No one cared. But does Trump say he’s a New Yorker again just to accommodate someone else on the ticket? That seems like a distinctly non-Trump-like to do. Does Desantis say he’s not a Floridian? Desantis is a native of the state and is governor. Yeah, I suppose he could declare his love for Texas or Georgia all of a sudden, but that seems a little phony. This isn’t really a Dick Cheney situation.
Trump has houses in NY too, so I don’t think that’s a problem.
No law preventing it
Why not? Is there a rule in the Constitution forbidding it?
