Does P-Marlowe also favor repealing the 12th amendment so Mitt Romney will be Obama's Vice President? The framers CLEARLY establishment that the runner up for President would become Vice President when they ratified the Constitution in 1789. According to the anti-17th amendment crowd, the framers were infallible when they set up the government, and we must NEVER EVER deviate from what the framers established. I guess "our Republic was destroyed" because we never got to have Vice President Gore in a Bush administration, Vice President Carter in a Reagan administration, etc, etc.

I didn't say the Framers were infallible. I said they were smarter than YOU.

I don't think you will find anyone on this forum who would say otherwise.

Vice-President Goldwater under LBJ would’ve been a hoot. Vice-President McGovern under Nixon, not so much (though after a year a half of him as President with Nixon’s impeachment, he probably would’ve lost in ‘76 — although returned to VP).
