I always wondered about things like this. Someone fill me in on this stuff if you know:

Could someone be both President and Governor/Senator/Representative/Whatever?

The electors can vote for whomever they chose. I know some states have laws against it (is Minnesota one?), but they're constiutionally questionable.

There is a school of thought that the original framers of the Constitution did not intend the Vice President to actually become President upon the death of the President. Instead, they intended the Vice President to assume the duties of the President but to remain Vice President. So yes, someone could be both President and Vice President at the same time.

Is this a historical fact, or just a school of thought?
