They always have been from the same party. The political parties nominate a ticket to run together. It makes it easier to make decisions and to carry out functions of government when they come from the same party.
They run as a team and are both elected by the same electors who have pledged to support their candidacy. The only way they could not be from the same party would be if no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote so the House of Representatives chose the President and the Senate chose the Vice-President.

Because if the President and the VP were of differentparties, they would always have conflicting views. Being in the same party, they will agree more.
Huh? Let's try answering a couple different questions. Understand that politics is all about the next election. If the president and both houses of Congress are in the same political party, and there are at least 60 senators from the president's party (which is what it takes to shut down a filibuster) things are done in Congress that the president will sign because the party wants to prove to the voters that it can accomplish the people's work. If any of the following are true: the president is from a different party than the one controlling either, or both, houses of Congress or there are less than 60 members of the president's party in the Senate then nothing gets done, so the other party can go to the voters and say, "pick us because my party can solve the problem of gridlock in government today."
Andrew Johnson and Ronald Reagan both went from being Democrats to being Republicans. Johnson later switched back to be a Democrat. President-elect Trump contributed money to both parties but was not an active party member.

Challenging a popular president means that the voters may blame the Congressmen for any ensuing problems or stalemates, and that might them lose their own reelection. 'Bipartisan' presidents must be extremely rare, because that would mean the he represents both parties. As to a 'intellectual' president: no-one would be reluctant to oppose him for that reason only. Today, reluctance to challenge the President has everything to do with the question which political party has the majority in Congress and if the President was elected by that party or if he is from the other party. Today, Republican party Congressmen will sometimes go out of their way to block anything a Democrat President comes up with.

The two run as a team, with the same party affiliiation. The same electors choose both and the electors are chosen as representatives of the winning party are the state level.
