Who knew about the 12th (count 'em) Amendment?<br /><br />Thank you, Tillerman, for being such an informed student/citizen of our Constitution (despite your roots across the pond.)<br /><br />So the relevant question is: what is the meaning of "state"? Is it mental, emotional or otherwise?Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721376775731666766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-48877181761773314042013-08-16T19:18:26.626-04:002013-08-16T19:18:26.626-04:00What a cunning idea; pretend to move to Wyoming.What a cunning idea; pretend to move to Wyoming.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00087089319937016247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-19573296156632002492013-08-16T17:25:43.378-04:002013-08-16T17:25:43.378-04:00It will never happen because of the 12th Amendment...It will never happen because of the 12th Amendment that defines how the electoral college will select the P and VP.<br /><br />"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."<br /><br />So the members of the Electoral College from NJ couldn't vote for both Christie and Booker. In a close election that means that President Christie could get saddled with the VP from the opposing ticket. That's one reason why the major parties don't choose P and VP candidates from the same state.<br /><br />Unless of course Booker did what Cheney did and pretends to move to Wyoming.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-52842028223588171742013-08-16T16:12:36.135-04:002013-08-16T16:12:36.135-04:00It's way too early to talk about presidential ...It's way too early to talk about presidential politics.
