Is it possible that both George W Bush and George HW Bush could have been running mates in the 2000 presidential election?
Well, they were both from Texas, so they'd have to pull some sort of trick that let's one of them run from another state, kind of like Dick Cheney did. That said, there is still plenty going against HW in particular; he's some 76 years old, tainted by a previous loss and doesn't add much in terms of a ticket that his son doesn't provide already.Is it possible that both George W Bush and George HW Bush could have been running mates in the 2000 presidential election?
It's not constitutionally illegal to have a father and son on ticket, and the Constitution is the only law that defines who may or may not serve as President and Vice President. Does that mean it would be a good idea? Hell no.I don't think it would be possible, as a law was passed after JFK made Bobby Attorney General that President's couldn't have relatives serve in there cabinet. Even if it were possible, Pappa Bush would also have to declare Maine his Primary Residence so not to forfeit Texas' electoral votes and he was 76 years old in 2000.
