> Welker mentioned a possible plan in which Vice President JD Vance would run in 2028 and then “pass the baton” to Trump
Curious how they’d do this. The Twelfth Amendment states that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States” [1].
Simplest would be to elect two randos, have the House choose Trump as Speaker [2], then have the randos resign [3].
