>>> Newt no longer lives in Georgia.
He lives in Great Falls VA or Potomac MD.
Are you saying that Newt can legally be the VP?
I really don’t know...
What are the residency requirements that nullify the constitutional limitations on POTUS/VP not being from the same state?
If you are right, and Newt can be VP, I would be pretty well convinced you will see him on the ticket with Cain.
There is no constitutional requirement that the president and vp be from different states, only that one state’s electoral votes can not cast for men of the same state as the electorals themselves. So in this case GA’s electoral votes could not go to both unless one registers in a different state.
This would not matter in most cases but would have made Joe Liberman VP in 2000 had Cheney not re-registered in WY prior to election. Cheney would not have received Teaxas’ 32 electoral votes and no candidate would have had a majority thereby throwing the election for VP to the newly divided senate where the old VP Gore would have broken tie for his running mate.
