I’ve already read this article and it’s stupid. The senate could only choose from the list of people submitted to the congress by the electoral college. It can’t just choose whoever it wants.

This would be assuming the Senate remains in the hands of Dems.

You know, this has been brought up other times, and it just isn’t going to happen. So, no worries.

“The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President” - 12th Amendment

It annoys me that the idiots who write articles like this don’t bother to read the Constitution.

Nonsense! Ridiculous mental masturbation.

People also have to remember that the VeePee is not technically part of executive branch.

Your suggestion is giving me indigestion so early in the morning, and I haven’t even had breakfast yet!

Hillary will become VP.
It was the whole idea all along, the election is rigged to be a tie.

If Biden was selected as VP in a Romney administration he would simply freeze him out of everything and make him a ceremonial ribbon cutter.

It WOULD be wonderful to watch Romney torment Reid for four years...

Who cares?
The VP has as much or as little power as the President gives him.
Case closed.

Yes, Romney could send Reid on 4 years of diplomatic missions in every lil craphole nation in Africa.
Let him spend the full 4 years in mud huts eating bush meat.

Yep, and I suggest that Romney use Reid to his full potential and appoint him as Czar of Urinal Mints.
