Well, that’s a real big loophole if the Vice President does not have to be qualified under the Constitution to become President. Very interesting. It does seem that the Constitution has some gaping holes in it. That’s a real big one...

Very interesting...

And if it’s no big deal for a Vice President to be qualified, I’m wondering if someone will try to promote the idea that it shouldn’t be important for a President to be qualified either — since a Vice President can take the office of President without being qualified.

The 20th amendment requires the president and the vice president to meet the qualifications for office. You are persisting in the straw man argument that the VP doesn't have to be qualifed to be president.

Are you saying that the current govs of Mich or Cal could be vice president?
