Can someone explain this?

If Republicans cling to the intent of the Constitution, how did we end up with a Prez and VP from the same state?

Article. II.

Section. 1.

Clause 3: The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.

1. That's precisely why Cheney changed

his 'home' to a state other than Texas.

[dennis4868]

3. he did not change his state in time for the 2000 election....

it was challenged in court but the conservative circuit court said that the law does not apply to repubs....

[Eye and Monkey]

7. I believe they also ruled that the Constitution is "quaint and antiquated"

unless there's something useful for Thugs.

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. Forgot that.

My bad. :spank:

Just another example of the assholes in charge pissing on the Constitution.

2. Darth Cheney moved to Wyoming

shortly before the election. Yeah, it was bogus -- but what else is new?

[21winner]

4. Cheney moved back.

that is,he rented a Po Box in WY.

5. They got around it by Chaney being from Wyoming......

They are only constitutional constructionists when it is convieent to them...Where in the Constitution does SCOTUS have a say in the National election?

15. Yar your right. They talked about this in 2000

Both those guys just use Texas as a back drop any how. Father did also. They are both Washington insiders and we all know it. They feed off the federal govt. and got rich.

16. We have no one to blame but ourselves

Where si the outrage? We allow them to run all over us and do nothing.

17. Even though Cheney got Texas tax breaks for his Texas home.

Also didn't meet the deadline for changing residence, I believe.

But you know the Republican motto: "Laws are for suckers."

6. Cheney and Bush just gamed the system as usual

I can't even imagine the historic paper shredding event that will happen after Kerry wins.

[Eye and Monkey]
