Dick Cheney in '08!!!

[Warham]

Personally, I don't believe it's illegal for the President or the Vice President to actually reside in any state of the Union, or to originate from any state in the Union.

The Constitution also prohibits electors from voting for both a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate from the same state as themselves. In theory, this might deny a Vice Presidential candidate with the most electoral votes the absolute majority required to secure election, even if the Presidential candidate is elected, and place the Vice Presidential election in the hands of the Senate. In practice, this requirement is easily circumvented by having the candidate for Vice President change the state of residency as was done by Dick Cheney who changed his legal residency from Texas to Wyoming in order to run for election as Vice President alongside George W. Bush.

In ANY State?

NO

In the SAME State?

YES [see above link quoting the US Constitution ]



I await eagerly your plea of ignorance on this matter, my distinguished colleague from the great State of New Hampshire:D

Cheney's from Oklahoma, as was mentioned.

It's fine with me as long as it's legal.

Wyoming

But what's the difference.

You're missing the point.




They circumvented the LAW so he could run as VP


I give up.


You and monkeyboy sure have alot in common. Even when presented with irrefutable [sp?] evidence YOU STILL WONT ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG

[Warham]

Yeah, Wyoming.

LOL.

Sorry, my mind ain't on politics tonight.

Cheney went through a loophole. Big deal. All politicians jump through them.

I wonder how many loopholes Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, and Nixon and all their VPs jumped through in their public service....

Just throw me a bone. Admit you were wrong about the LAW [loophole or not]


I couldnt agree MORE about politicians squeezing through loopholes.

Shit, I'm still pissed as all hell about "...depends on what your definition of the word is, is...."

I could have throttled the bastard for that

Yeah, I'll admit I probably read your post wrong.

The law sounds archaic to me, but it's the law.
