Yes, the Constitution states in Clause 4 of the 12th Amendment, the amendment that established vice presidential elections,
"... no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
False- they are the same with no exceptions. The reason is the the vice-president must be able to assume the office of President at any time.
No, the U.S. Constitution requires that in order to run for Vice President you must be eligible to be President, so the qualifications are EXACTLY the same.
yes/true
The same as the presidents.
A vice-presidential candidate must have the same qualifications as the President, because he may become President.
No, the official qualifications are the same, since the Vice President may become President. However, parties may not demand so much from their vice-presidential nominees as they do from their presidential candidate and voters might expect less.

The vice president becomes president if the president is incapacitated, so he needs to have all the qualifications of a president, just in case.
This is because the main role of the vice-president is to be able to take over as President if necessary. A person not qualified to be President would not be able to become president and so could not fill this role.
The constitution provides that if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president becomes president. In recent years, presidents have given their vice president more responsibilities. Vice presidents must be fully inform and prepared to take over the important jobs that could be theirs. Vice presidents must meet the same constitution qualifications as the president and serves a four-year term.
Yes, the same for a vice-president.
