The 12th amendment was about when 2nd place for president was then made vice president. We don’t elect a VP anymore we elect a President. He or she can select whoever they want from whatever state they want.
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.
Per Amendment XII, "we" -- well, the Electors actually -- most surely do elect the Vice President.
Gotta love all the FReepers who toss around their views of how the Constitution works without having any understanding of how the Constitution works. Some things never change. :-)
“He or she can select whoever they want from whatever state they want.”
{Sigh}. You just don’t get it. Yes, he can select whomever he wants from whatever state. BUT no state can vote for 2 of its own residents for both President and VP. So if Trump is a Florida resident and he picks another Floridian as his running mate, Florida can cast its electoral votes for Trump or his running mate but not both. This is a real thing whether you like it or not. And it matters. This is why Texan Dick Cheney changed his residency back to Wyoming in 2000.
