What if: Trump picks Bill Clinton as his V.P. ????

[Ray From Cleveland]

For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not eligible to be VP because he is not a natural born US citizen.

Just like Ted Cruz.

When was Ted Cruz naturalized?

He wasn't! Therefore he is a natural born citizen of the US.

God I wish birthers would go back to school. Had you been in my class, you might actually have learned something!

Havana Ted was born in Canada.

Last I checked neither Havana nor Canada is in the United States.

Check again and you will find if your mother is an American, so are you regardless where you are born.

One Nevada Democrat jokingly predicted 2016 would bring confirmation of a long-running Republican conspiracy theory: That Trump is a Democratic plant who is destroying the GOP from the inside: “Trump picks Bill Clinton to be his vice president, confirming the two were co-conspirators all along

I hope you know it's impossible for Bill to be VP.

It may be moot right now. First we have to get rid of Obama out of the White House. He may refuse to leave.

There was never any doubt, any controversy as to where Obama's mother was born.

Try again.

For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:

1. The person's parents were married at the time of birth
2. One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person was born
3. The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child's birth;
4. A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday.

Obama and Cruz were both citizens of the US at birth, no matter where they were born.

Try what again? Have you ever seen me join the birther movement? Ever read any comments from me about it?

A VP has to be eligible to serve as president, Bill Clinton is not.

For about the 10th time that has been asked in this thread, where does it say that?

Save yourself the time and effort. Nowhere does it say that president who has already served 2 terms can't be vice president.

It says he cannot be ELECTED.

You might want to check the laws governing the conference of citizenship before you make that broad of a statement, because that's not always the case.

"Additionally, the first Congress of the United States passed the Naturalization Act of 1790, just three years after the Constitution was written, which stated that children born abroad to U.S. citizens were, too, natural born citizens. Many members of the inaugural Congress were also authors of the Constitution."

Such a selection would be Unconstitutional. Clinton has served two terms as President. Having served in that office Mr. Clinton both Legally and Constitutionally barred from serving as either President or Vice-President.

=======
I think you are wrong.

Bill Clinton never held the office of Vice President so he < could > serve as V.P.

Of course, If the Ice Queen died in office that would raise problems with the Constitutional Amendment preventing him from serving as President again.

I think it would go to the Speaker of the House in that event.

I don't believe the amendment says they can never serve in any lesser office, only that they can't have more than 2 terms as President.

If it's good enough for the President why doesn't it apply to Congresscritters too?

I know I'm right, just read the 12th. Amendment.

I'm not saying Cruz is not eligible, his mother met the legal requirements, in place at the time to confer citizenship. At that time the parent had to resided in the US at least 5 years after their 14th birthday, which she had.

=================
I just read it and I don't even see where it says anything about only serving two terms!!!!

Here is the full text of the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

Amendment XII

(Ratified June 15, 1804)


The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;


The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.


The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.


The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
==============

But HERE is the text of the 22nd Amendment which DOES limit the President to two terms BUT DOES not MENTION THE VICE PRESIDENT:

Amendment XXII

(Ratified February 27, 1951)


Section 1

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.


Section 2

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
