Yes, although it hasn't happened since 1976, when President Ford's running mate was Bob Dole instead of incumbent Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, and before that it hadn't happened since 1944, when President Roosevelt's running mate was Harry Truman instead of incumbent Vice President Henry Wallace.

∙ 11y agoYes. the president can ask for a new running mate and probably get one. He nominations are actually up to the delegates at the party nomination convention,and not entirely the choice of the presidential nominee, although in recent years the conventions have gone along with the nominee's choice.
Abraham Lincoln changed running mates for his second election .

∙ 11y agoYes, more than likely. The nominating convention that nominates the president to run for a second term also nominates a vice-president candidate. The President could pull strings and almost certainly get the convention to choose a new running mate for him if that was his strong wish. There have been times when the vice-president fell out of favor and the convention made the choice of changing running mates virtually on their. own.
Of course, there would not be a new vice-president unless the president was re-elected with his new running mate.

If you were running for president can you choose your brother or sister to be vice president?
The presidential candidate really doesn't choose the person he runs with. He/she will choose a person who brings something to the ticket they need. It could be electors, experience, connections. If a brother or sister was within this format they could run with them, but the party convention votes for a ticket and not each person. In the case of JFK his brother Robert became Attorney General of the United States.
