Biden VP news megathread (pg 286 - been selected, announcement could be today)

[GAProgressive]

Sounds like a Twitter retool to me.

[Dr. MB]

If it's Harris I'm bout to unfollow my faith in this party lmao

[Dr. Arch]

What if it's Michelle Obama? What if those campaign events with Obama were 5D Chess triple fakes where Joe had a chance to interview her?

[Sirius_]

Harris never struck me as the vindictive type and honestly what purpose would unfollowing Biden on social media serve?  I wouldn't read much into this.

Lmao what if it's Obama

Not constitutionally eligible.

Well if Biden is picking a woman than Obama IS constitutionally eligible.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Can we not have two pages of people freaking out about what happens on social media this is literally not a story and I don't know why y'all are freaking out this is the most ridiculous thing I've seen so far in this thread

Not constitutionally eligible.

Not necessarily. The constitutionality is up for debate. We had a thread about this: https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=342226.msg7031969#msg7031969

Either way I was joking

He wouldn’t be eligible.

The constitution states: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States“.

[BidenHarris2020]

@ Monstro I'm not reading too much into anything. It was a simple observation

[ProgressiveModerate]

I don't think Kamala would be so petty as to unfollow Joe

That's what I was thinking as well.

The constitution states: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States“.

But the Constitution never says Obama is ineligible to the office of President, only ineligible to be ELECTED to the office of President again. Important distinction.

[GAProgressive]

Any have any recs for other websites or forums to follow gossip and rumors about this?

I'm refreshing this and the PredictIt constantly lol

Yup.  Pretty clear.  There may be a debate about this...but one side of that debate is just plain wrong.

Eligibility for the office & eligibility for election to the office are 2 different things, given that one can succeed to the office without being elected to it.

Did nobody teach you about how textualism works?

[rhg2052]

Guys, guys... What if the real VP was the friends we made along the way?

[Xing]

This is some Mexican novella level drama here.

All we need is for Biden to say “My VP pick... is...” with a dramatic percussion loop for about 40 seconds while all of the contenders look around at each other nervously, then we see the title screen and know we have to wait another week to find out.

Yeah, I don't get the distinction.  Are you saying he can run but can't serve?

No, the opposite.

[ProgressiveModerate]

What if the VP is someone who was never talked about as a possibility at all?
