Klintoon could not be VP anyway. He’s Constitutionally ineligible. The Constitution clearly says that anyone who is not eligible for the office of President (as Klintoon is not, having served the maximum two terms) is not eligible for the office of Vice President.
Why don’t people understand this?
.....oh geez........
Clinton was a failure. Her husband won’t help her new administration.
Get over it libs...
The Constitution does not say that the President and Vice President cannot be from teh same state. It says that the electors from that state cannot vote for both of them. ("...one of whom, at least, shall not be from the same state as themselves.")
I guess I never read it that way. Oh well, you learn something new every day. I guess I AM an idiot!
Most people read it the way you did and that is its practical effect. But it’s not quite what it actually says.
I detest lawyers. Even framer ones. Why can’t people just say what they mean—or at least say it in a way that is understandable. I’ve probably read that 100 times, and never caught it.
Wish I had a dollar everytime he used the word “I”.
