It's technically possible, though unlikely. According to the Twelfth Amendment, the Electors in the Electoral College (the formal body that elects the President and the Vice-President), must vote for at least one person outside of their state. If both the President and Vice-Presidential candidates on a ticket were from the same state (for example, Texas) that would mean that the electors from that state would be constitutionally unable to vote for both members of that ticket. They would have to split their vote and vote for someone from a different state.
To stop this from happening, candidates for President will always ensure that they have a running mate who is an inhabitant of a different state. George W. Bush, for example, had to have Dick Cheney change his residence from Texas to Wyoming, otherwise both candidates would have been from Texas.
secretary of state
That is not possible, but if the president and the vice president are die, the Secretary of state takes over.
if the vice president died the president would remain the same....
Order of succession is Vice-President, Speaker of the House, President Pro-Tem of the senate, and then Secretary of State.
no..the presidential candidate decides whom he will appoint to run as vice president with him
The Vice-President of the US in 2013 is Joseph Biden, formerly a US Senator from Delaware.
Nobody. A president continues to serve in office when he is impeached. If he is convicted and removed from office, the vice-president becomes president, same as if the president were to die.
No, they have to be of the same political party.
Sargent Shriver was never the US vice president, although he was the US vice president nominee for the Democrat party in the 1972 election on the same ticket as McGovern. Gerald Ford was the Vice President under Nixon before the 1972 election.
The VP has to be at least 35, same as the President.
Not at the same time. Additional information: The Vice-President serves as President of the Senate, but is not a Senator. He can only vote in the event of a tie.
There is nothing that would prevent it.
