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.

12th amendment.

[Wallace T.]

The 12th Amendment states: “The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.” Thus, the New York electors cannot vote for both Trump and Giuliani, and, had Cheney not relocated to Wyoming, the Texas electors could not have voted for both the younger Bush and Cheney.
