who can be vice prez? Amendments 12&22 Clinton Bill & Obama

Just read 12th &22nd We could make some excellent tickets!! Hillary and Obama or Bernie and Bill? The prez & VP can't reside in the same state. That's why Chaney had to go back to Wyoming and pretend. Maybe we can build a dynastic dynamo of Democrats.

But I'd rather no more Clintons, please. I wonder how a Sanders / Obama ticket would do, haha.

Giving the Presidency to the Speaker of the House. The House is likely to stay in the hands of Republicans due to gerrymandering, so the very idea is pretty silly on its face, though it'd make history, it'd be a bad political move.

Therefore, any former President cannot possibly be a Vice President.

Why even ask?

And it's Cheney, NOT Chaney. Spelling really does matter.

That is the point. 22 just says elected pres. VP is a different office. It does not say that a 2 term pres. can't serve as pres. Only that he can't be elected. Yes, spelling does count, but not for war criminals. I just can"t learn the 3rd N. Korean monster, Him ill sick?
I am thinking of a Lessing/Obama ticket.
