Well if the thread isn't to your liking, nobody is making you stay here. The same mouse that clicked to get you in here can click to get you out.
 
Well, that's really a myth...or really more of a misunderstanding about the constitution. This is an area of the constitution that is a confusing mess frankly.

There is NO constitutional prohibition against the President and Vice President being from the same state.

Originally, electors in each state didn't for a President and Vice President. They cast votes for two people to be President. Whoever got the most votes became President and the runner up was Vice President. There is a prohibition against electors voting for two people, both from their own state. The founders were trying to preclude a large state like New York from having too much power and voting for two people from their own state. However, nothing in there precludes all of the other (now 49) states from voting for those two people who are both from New York.

The flaws in the original system came to light pretty quickly and the 12th amendment was passed. After that, electors make two separate votes...one to pick the President and one to pick the Vice President. However, given governmental idiocy, they left in the clause prohibiting electors voting for two people from the same state.

All that said, if Trump and DeSantis ran, there would be no issue with electors from 49 states voting for them. In Florida, there's a gray area that the courts might wind up having to weigh in on. Could the electors in Florida vote for a President Trump and Vice President DeSantis...probably not, but not certain how it would play out in court....if it went there. They could certainly cast votes for Trump as President and then vote for anyone else as Vice President. That would kick the can into Congress' hands. When they met to count the electors votes, Trump would have X votes for President, but DeSantis would have X-30 votes for Vice President since he wouldn't' have Florida's votes. If the election were a blowout, it wouldn't matter.

If the election turned out to be really close, you could in theory wind up with President Trump and Vice President Harris (or whoever was the VP candidate on the Democrat ticket). Wouldn't that be a hoot!!!
Oh, I was led to believe that it was... I stand corrected!
 
Don't forget, sub, YOU'RE the one who decided to pm me in a failed effort to gloat and bully, YOU'RE the one who continued to name call, and sling unnecessary crap when the rest of us were being civil... YOU'RE the one who gets threads shut down here because YOU'RE unable to be a decent human being...
 
since you can not seem to understand......you didn't disagree you never said a word...just more of your childish hate........which will ******* this thread also.....grow up and learn
The sore thumb is an adequate gesture to signify that I disagree. You, sir, are a disease plaguing this forum, a cancer that will continue to be counter-productive to this or any other political discussion.
 
I'm not the only one who thinks you are childish.....and offer nothing but hate to a thread....as for the pm....you twisted it naturally.....I posted the pm on the thread....it got removed.....do what you want and we will see where it goes...
Yes, I know, your liberal buddies think I'm "childish" because I disagree with your leftist position... I'm completely capable of having a sensible conversation, however, you come to this thread, and I appropriately react to your statements, so then you immediately attack me with no acceptable reason.
 
well this thread won't last long.....childish tnc right back to where he screwed up the other thread.....some people just to immature to learn


you want this thread to go....put a muzzle on tnc

I believe it was your side complaining to mods that killed the other thread.
