Jindal/Cantor VS Clinton/Cuomo in 2016

[Zacoftheaxes]

It's 2016, Obama is leaving office, the economy is better than it was before Obama but it's still bad. The unemployment rate is 8.7%, taxes have increased by 7% nationwide, and healthcare is still a mess. DADT has been repealed and we are out of Afghanistan, we went into Pakistan but have gotten out of that as well. Bin Laden was captured alive but killed by an insane soldier 30 minutes afterwards.

Bobby Jindal wins the Republican nomination and picks Eric Cantor as his running mate. Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, and picks Andrew Cuomo as her running mate.

Who wins? Discuss with maps.

Hillary Clinton would be 69 on Election Day and, if elected, the second-oldest President at inauguration after Ronald Reagan (by only a few months).  With that said, I really cannot see her making another run.

Pakistan isn't exactly stable however. We got in, martyred Bin Laden, and left before Obama could get in any more trouble.

Does Hillary change her voting registration back to Arkansas? Because the Constitution (12th Amendment) states that the President and VP cannot be from the same state.

Yes, she moves back and registers in Arkansas.

Not like its a hard fix.

Jindal wins 368-170, assuming Hillary runs as fast as she can from Obama and his record.

From the 12th Amendment: "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..."

All this means is that Electors can't vote for both a President and a Vice-President from their own state- they have to vote for at least one person from a different state. The Constitution does not prohibit a President and Vice-President from being from the same state. In this example, the Electors from New York could vote for either Clinton for President or Cuomo for Vice-President, but not both.
