What are some of the ways that Newt Gingrich would change the US if he became president?
Honp89
Gingrich would attempt to "dismantle the left."
He would de-fund planned parenthood and attempt to stop legal abortion.
He would appoint only strictly conservative (non-activist) judges. He believes most judges today are activists, reading rights into the Constitution that aren't there. He would even ask Congress to discontinue funding for courts whose decisions he disagreed with.
He would attempt to increase child labor by making children work more hours at younger ages.
He favors the death penalty for drug smugglers and advocates making America's drug laws more like those of Singapore.
He favors much stricter math and science curriculum in schools nationwide.
He advocates ending programs to reduce carbon emissions and beginning new oil and gas drilling in places that are currently off-limits. His handbook "Drill Here, Drill Now" makes this position very clear. At one time, he advocated the opposite positions and even appeared in a Democrat-sponsored ad; he now calls that the "dumbest thing he's ever done."
He advocates private personal accounts for Social Security and Medicare.
He advocates breaking the FBI into two parts, an extremely respectful anti-crime unit, and a smaller but very aggressive anti-terrorism unit that would not be responsible for maintaining civil liberties (like Britain's MI-5).
He advocates measures to make America more of a Christian nation.
He opposes gay marriage and gay rights.
Gingrich advocates giving states the right to declare bankruptcy in order to break union contracts and pension requirements.

What problem might arise from making the runner up presidential election the vice president?
The obvious problem was the one that provoked a Constitutional change. Two people with strongly opposing views ran for president. One of them won by a narrow margin and the other became Vice-president. The vice-president thus became a constant voice of opposition in the capital. And- suppose the president had died- suddenly the government would change- the new president would want to replace all the high-ranking Cabinet members- all of the president's initiatives would likely be scrapped and the government would be in turmoil. Indeed , there would be an incentive for an opposing party to remove the president if they lost the election.

Why would a president not have a vice-president?
If the President had been a VP themself, and then had been sworn in when the President had died. The VP office would then remain vacant until the next election. This changed under Richard Nixon, so that if a VP became President, a new VP would need to be appointed. As a result, when Nixon resigned, his VP Gerald Ford became President, and Nelson Rockefeller was appointed as Vice President.
