    She should wait till the last possible minute to introduce her v.p.and then lift the curtain to reveal Biden in sunglasses eating an ice cream cone.

      Unfortunately VPs are beholden the the same term limits as president, so Biden can’t be VP again, but that would be very funny

      Edit: apparently I’m talking out of my ass. I learned that at some point and never doublechecked, so thank you to those eho corrected me

        Uhhhh, VP does not have a term limit. Biden has 4 more yards of presidential eligibility so he could be VP for as long as he wishes if he never takes up the office of the president again.

        Got a source for that?

        There’s still some unsettled rough edges to the differences and overlap between the 12th and 22nd amendments, but they both seem to be pretty sensibly in agreement that if Joe Biden is eligible for 4 more years as President, he would be at least eligible for 4 years as Vice President.

        Where it gets speculative is if Biden had already served 8 years, would he be eligible for VP? Or as a real world example: could Kamala pick Obama as her VP? There’s nothing explicitly preventing it.
