For many years, the national convention nominated the candidates for President and Vice President. They also wrote a platform and elected the officers of the national organization. Recently, the presidential nomination have been decided by primary election before the convention and the presidential nominee has been allowed to name the candidate for Vice President. Therefore, the national convention has become mostly a political rally to kick off the presidential campaign. They do still have a platform, but it is rarely of importance to the campaign and rarely folllowed by the new President.
