"Precisely the same reason" means that, according to the author, neither Bill nor Hillary can serve as VP because they are both ineligible to serve as President.Have it your way, Mad Hatter, because words apparently mean to you what you want them to mean. To normal folks, precisely the same reason means just that. So you can have the last word if you wish to further mangle the English language.

To normal folks, precisely the same reason means just that.It does mean just that. The same reason why both (in the flawed view of the author) are ineligible for the vice presidency is that both (supposedly) are ineligible for the presidency. That's the stipulation in the 12th amendment that is said to apply to the both of them.

So you can have the last word if you wish to further mangle the English language. I am simply reading the obvious meaning of the author's article. Some have accused the author of reading more into the Constitution than is there. Then they turn around and do the same thing with his article, while insulting him. It's just rather ironical, not to mention hypocritical.
