We should repeal the 12th Amendment.
Could you imagine Bill Clinton with George HW Bush or Bob Dole as VP or G.W. Bush with Al Gore or John Kerry as VP?

Actually, I would like to see people vote for individual Electors, instead of blocks of Electors. Each Elector would then cast a vote for two Presidential Candidates, the one receiving a Majority being elected President, the candidate receiving the second most, becomes the Vice President.
Basically, how things were before the 12th Amendment.

So what would happen if Bloomberg/Giuliani were to win NY?
Bloomberg isn't a Republican anymore, so you can count out any chance of those two being on a ticket together.

But hypothetically, the electors from NY would be prohibited to vote for a President and Vice President from NY.
One of the two could call another State "home"
ie Dick Chaney goes to Wyoming
