Both Giuliani and Trump are residents of New York. Per the Constitution, the President and Vice President cannot be from the same state. One or the other will have to change their residency, as Cheney did, moving to Wyoming from Texas before becoming the younger Bush’s Vice Presidential pick.

Where in the constitution does it say the president and VP cannot be from the same state? I never heard that before. I thought the reason for not doing this, is because it is not good strategy vote-wise, as the candidates usually carry their home states.

Anyone considering Rubio does not know the lack of regard by Floridians over his Gang of Eight surrender. Not what they worked so hard to elect!!!!

Trump can take Florida without him...we’ll see during our primary.

Actually, there is nothing in the Constitution which prohibits the President and Vice President from being from the same state. However, if the President and Vice President are both from the same state, the electors from that state cannot vote for them in the Electoral College. Thus a Trump/ Giuliani ticket if it could carry New York State still wouldn't get the electoral votes for New York.
