I think realistically it will be Harris-Kelly. I'd like Harris-AOC
Unfortunately AOC still has a year till she's eligible. But I totally agree, and I really hope we get to see AOC in the oval office in the next 20 years or so.
She'll be 35 by inauguration day.
Not early enough to get on the ticket.
edit to add sources:
Dates to file candidates to get on each State's ballot. She will only be eligible to be on the ballot in Tennessee.
Text from Amendment 12: "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
No it's not. There's not even an age limit for VP.
To get on a ballet every state has a different filing date, none of them are after she's old enough.
"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
To get on the ballOt, she has to be eligible to serve as VP at the time she takes office. If states could impose their own age requirements, red states would have some seriously ridiculous requirements. Filing dates don't matter.
I stand corrected about age limits for VP overall.
I misunderstood, I thought they had to be eligible to be on the ballot, but it does make more sense that they have to be eligible by the time they take office.
