∙ 11y agoThe vice president is formally elected by the same electors who elect the President. When the people vote for President they also vote for the vice-president since the candidates for these positions run as a team. The vice-presidential nominee is chosen at the same party convention as the the presidential nominee. In recent years, the presidential nominee has picked his running mate and the convention then approved his choice. In past years, many of the nominees would leave the choice of his running mate up to the convention.
