This possibility gets mentioned more and more every day. I just posted this on another similar thread...
Someone I occasionally follow on the internet just put forward an interesting (or hilarious?, maybe scary?) prediction regarding who will be on our final ballots in 2024.
He predicted on the Democratic side, it will be Michelle Obama for President, and Barak Obama for Vice President. There is of course no law preventing him holding the VP position, only.
On the Republican side, he said it will be Donald Trump for President, and Donald Trump JR for Vice President. This way, he said Trump will be saying, if you kill me, you still get a Trump.
Therefore, it would be Obama/Obama verses Trump/Trump.
I don’t know for sure if he was serious or not, but, all things considered, I wouldn’t rule it out! Makes sense in many ways, politically.
The 12th Amendment says no one may hold the office of VP who is not eligible to be President. Obama is not eligible as he has already had two terms.
To be eligible for the vice-presidency one must also be eligible for the presidency. And Obunghole is ineligible due to term limits.

Suppose the Dems do nominate an Obama/Obama ticket. We all know that is constitutionally impossible. But from what we have seen since the tainted 2020 installation, what court is going to say that Barack cannot run for VP after having already punted in 2008 on the very real question of Barack’s eligibility based on the natural-born citizen clause?
The Dems believe the Constitution can be whatever they think it should be at any particular moment, and many judges will agree with that. This could be tied up in the courts for months, if not years, while the Obamas actually take office and continue their quest to destroy what’s left of our formerly great country.
I think a VP must be eligible to serve as POTUS, and Barack is not.
Also, Michelle s too lazy.
Hilarious. The whole world will be laughing at us.
The twelfth amendment explicitly disallows this: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
Further, the president and vice president must be residents of different states. So on the Trump side, they one of them would have to change residence to another state, if they are currently residents of the same state.
