How does the 12 amendment affect our lives today?

The 12th Amendment revised presidential elections.Prior to the 12th Amendment, the two parties would nominate their presidential candidates (like they still do). However, the winner of the election would become the president, and the loser of the election would become vice president.So, for example, in this last election, Donald Trump would have been president, and Hillary Clinton would have been vice president. Can you see the conflict with that? They would constantly disagree on every issue.The 12 Amendment made it so the presidential nominee and vice presidential nominee run together. So, like things are now, Donald Trump ran with Mike Pence, and Hillary Clinton ran with Tim Kaine.Now, the two heads of the Executive Branch come from the same political party, where they used to come from opposite parties.

What amendments relate to the offices of president and vice president and how?

In 1804, the 12th Amendment changed the way the Vice President is elected. Before 1804, there was no separate ballot for vice presidents; each elector cast two votes for president, and whoever came in second in the presidential election was the vice president. Since 1804, separate votes are cast for president and for vice president. In 1933, the 20th Amendment changed the start and end dates of the presidential and vice presidential terms. From 1793 through 1933, with one minor exception, all presidential terms began on March 4 following each presidential election and ended four years later on March 3. Beginning with President Roosevelt's and Vice President Garner's second inaugurations in 1937, all presidential and vice presidential terms begin and end at noon (American Eastern Time) on January 20 following the election. In 1951, the 22nd Amendment limited the number of times a person can be elected president to two (one if the person served more than two years of a presidential term to which someone else was elected). The 23rd Amendment gave the District of Columbia the right to appoint electors to the electoral college beginning with the election of 1964. In 1967, the 25th Amendment (1) put Tyler's Precedent into writing (when the president dies or resigns the vice president becomes president), (2) provided for a replacement when the office of the vice president is vacated, (3) provided for the vice president to act as president when the President is temporarily incapacitated, and (4) made it possible for the Vice President and the Cabinet to remove a president from office due to disability. Some constitutional amendments affect the public's right to vote. Although the public does not elect the president or vice president, they do now elect all of the people who do elect them, so I'll list those amendments, too: In 1870, the 15th Amendment gave former slaves and other blacks the right to vote. In 1920, the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. In 1964, the 24th Amendment made poll taxes illegal. In 1971, the 26th Amendment lowered the minimum voting age from 21 to 18.

How many won't vote in 2012 presidential election?

It is difficult to accurately estimate turnout at US federal elections, as presidential ballots do not take place often enough to make accurate predictions and it is difficult to judge what issues will affect turnout from one election to the next. Turnout is determined by a variety of factors, some complex, some simple - even the weather on polling day can have a dramatic impact on turnout levels. We can however make a tentative estimate of the abstention rate based on previous Presidential elections. There have been five elections since 1965 in which an incumbent President was up for re-election - 1972, 1984, 1992, 1996 and 2004. Based on these elections, we can expect approximately 27% of all registered voters will not vote in the 2012 presidential election, representing 47% of the entire adult population (including non-registered voters).
