The political parties objected to this and got the constitution amended so as to increase party power over the people.
As for the OP, people actually get paid to compose idiotic advocacy? What a country!
Under those old rules ... can you imagine what it would be like to have Hillary as Trump’s VP? He’d have to send her on “fact finding missions” and “goodwill tours” to the far reaches of the planet.
Romney as Obama’s?
McCain as Obama’s?
Kerry as W’s?
Gore as W’s?
Dole as BJ’s?
HW as BJ’s? (This would have been a good one to watch...)
We dodged some bullets.
Which amendment was that?
True, but would YOU want Hillary Clinton as a VP? To anyone?
