Do people actually bother to READ the Constitution anymore?

Honestly, as I'm reading it, there does seem to be some room for question. The Constitution, on face value, does not seem to outline any qualifications for Vice-President, only President.

However, it does say, "In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President . . ."

Perhaps Sheekey has a good argument. IF something happens to the President, THEN the Vice-President is not qualified to serve and it the presidency would be assumed by the Speaker of the House.

Interesting argument. Can't say I would support this ticket, but I would like to hear what the Supreme Court says about this scenario.
