Why are the presindent and vice president from the same party?
Each party convention nominates one candidate for president and one candidate for vice-president and the two candidates run as a team. The popular vote can not be split since the voters are really electing electors and the same electors vote for both president and vice-president. Although there are separate electoral votes for president and vice-president, the electors vote for their party's nominee in each.
How did the twelfth amendment change the way the president is chosen when no candidate earns the majority electoral votes?
Prior to adoption of the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution, electors cast votes for two persons. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices. The recipient of the most electoral votes would become president and the runner-up vice-president. The 12th Amendment of the Constitution states that electors are to vote separately for the president and vice president, on separate electoral ballots. Before this amendment the electors cast two votes in one election and the second-place finisher was made vice-president. If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
Can a president be the vice president?
No- These are two separate offices.
Are the President and the Vice President members of different political parties?
Not since 1804.. After the 12th amendment was ratified in 1804, candidates for president and vice-president run as a team and the same electors elect both of them in separate ballots. It could in theory happen again if the electoral college votes ends in a 269-269 tie, so that the House decides the President and the Senate elects the vice-president.
