the shut your face law :)
Joseph Biden , the incumbent is running for another term as VP.
A person who votes in the presidential election but does not vote for a congressional candidate in the same election is known as an independent voter. Another name for an independent voter is unaffiliated voter.
Only once: 1797-1801, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson Beginning in 1804, each Presidential candidate ran as a team with his "running mate" (Vice Presidential candidate).
The incumbent, Gerald R. Ford, ran for another term in 1976. Bob Dole was his running mate.
I edited this question so that it made sense to me- hope I did not miss the point of the question. Yes, the choice of the vice-presidential candidate does have influence on how people vote- how much depends on the situation. Here are factors that might have influence.if the presidential candiate picked the vice-presidential candidate, this important decision is an indicator on how well he may make other important decisions.If the VP candidate has a well-known political position that differs from the presidential candidate or is from another bloc voting group, a voter might be afraid that the VP could come into power or they may support him in hopes that he can influence the president.If the VP is an effective campaigner , he or she can stump the country and win votes
If a vice presidential candidate drops out of the race, it would depend on the timing and the reasons for their withdrawal. If it happens before the party's nomination, the party may choose a replacement candidate. If it happens after the nomination, the party may still proceed with the original candidate or choose a new one through a replacement process determined by party rules. Ultimately, the party would have the authority to make this decision.
Generally, by having a VP come from some region of the country other than that of the President, so that the "ticket" is attractive to more people on a regional basis. Another way is by having someone with a somewhat different political philosophy than the Presidential candidate so that the ticket is attractive to more people on a philosophocal basis.
One is getting on the voting ballot in all the states. Another is getting a fair chance to debate the issues with people from the other parties.
The Article of Confederation was America's first national constitution and some of it's weaknesses were: Congress could not impose taxes, Congress could not regulate trade, 9 of 13 states needed to agree to pass law, All states had to agree to amend the article, No executive branch to enforce laws passed by Congress, and No judicial branch to interpret laws passed by congress.
