Let's put it this way: Let's just say Rand Paul and John Boehner are running on the same ticket for President. I personally like Rand Paul and would want him to be President, but I do not like John Boehner and would not want him to essentially be a Senator. If I vote for the Paul/Boehner ticket, I am voting for a President I want, but I am also forced into voting for a Vice President/Senator that I do not want. Perhaps we could have it that the President and Vice President are elected separately?
I proposed that amendment and it went down in glorious defeat.
