I was curious where precisely it would state that a person disqualified by the 22nd amendment can't be VP either. I mean it's common sense, but I haven't seen it. Of course if they had their heartset on it, one wonders if the could just name him speaker of the house and then have both step down.
The technicality on the insurrection is that he was never found responsible by any federal court.
The question is whether they keep trying to "technically" around the Constitution versus dropping all pretense. It seems that, so far, they still value the optics of compliance. But we are so so early in the term...
I'm not seeing it on a quick look either, I thought it was spelled out but I think it's mainly assumed that since the VP's only real duties beyond the president of the Senate is as a replacement for the president and would need to actually be able to hold that position to be vp.
But I think you're right, that's just largely held to be the case but not explicitly defined.
That's one thing about Trump's administration, so many decent common sense norms that the common person assumed were codified were in fact self-enforced by basic decency in most administrations. That despite all the verbosity and crafting of the law, there's still gigantic holes for a less decent administration to use..
