I know that making the UK cede the Lesser Antilles as the price for US aid against Hitler has been criticized as unduly harsh, but I don't want to get into that here. What I want to know is who Ronald Reagan would have chosen as his running mate in 1980 if Eugenia Charles hadn't been available?
(And please, no rehashing of the "birther" quibbling about whether she was a natural born citizen, either. "Again, the Federal Constitution provides that no person, except a natural-born citizen or a. citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, should be eligible to the office of president.

We do not believe such a construction can be reasonably contended for." https://books.google.com/books?id=M64wAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA700)
