Does the president and vice-president need to be from the same political party?

In modern elections, the President and VP run on the same ticket, and are of the same party. In the first few elections, the winner became President and the runner-up was VP, so they were usually from different parties. An example is that John Adams was a Federalist while his VP Thomas Jefferson was a Republican.

What political trend was addressed in the war Powers resolution in the 22nd amendment?
The growth in the need for the president in crisis.
Why would the president appoint people who are members of his same political party?
It is only natural for the President to appoint people who share his views on government and will work to carry out his programs. Such people are more likely to be found in his own party. A first term president needs to have party support to run for re-election and one way to gain support is through appointments. He may also need to repay people who have helped him get elected the first time by making them an ambassador.
Is it true that The national chairman of a political party is a volunteer and handles only the planning of the national conventions?
No, that is not true. There may have been a time when national chairs of political parties were just volunteering their time, but in modern times, campaigns have become big business, and political parties play an important role in getting candidates elected. Candidates need to raise large sums of money to get elected, and while they can rely on wealthy political donors, they also rely on their party leaders to help set the political agenda and get the message out across the country. Thus, chairs of political parties are well paid for what is a very demanding job: today, they do much more than run the conventions, although that is one aspect of their job. They are being paid to make sure the public has a favorable view of both the party and the candidates. This means coordinating the campaign in each state (working with campaign managers, consultants, and strategists), honing the message, and guiding the direction of the campaign. It also means going on TV and radio to defend the candidate on behalf of the political party, and to oversee the political ads that will be used to make the other party and its candidates look bad.
How do you run for president with out a party?
You need a party of some sort just to help you do the busy work of collecting the signatures needed to file to get on the ballot. You have to do this separately in each state. If you are rich enough you can hire people to be your party. If you want to run without any chance to win , you can conduct a write-in campaign-- just ask people to write your name in.
Do you have to be a member of a political party to be president?
No. But under the current political party system, these are the senior members of the state or national parties, and normally have the most experience with the government of the country or of a state. However, name recognition and charisma can also boost a candidate, as it did with Jimmy Carter in 1976, Ronald Reagan in 1980, and Barack Obama in 2008. Carter served 3 years in the Georgia Senate and 5 years as governor. Reagan served 8 years as governor of California. Obama served 7 years in the Illinois Senate and 3 as US Senator.
