The Vice Presidency is a lawyer concocted scam to destroy the Presidency!!
The Vice Presidency, with 2 men on the same ballot is a scam of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers. The wording in the Constitution of the succession DEVOLVING on the Vice President was so obscure and nebulous that the lawyers LOVED it.
The first clever campaign poster was dreamed up by lawyers and was called "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too."
It united 2 absolutely different men and they appeared on the same ballot.
It was the political equivalent of TWINS: one was a normal human being and the other was the veritable seed of Satan.
The next deadly duo was Father Abraham and Andrew Johnson. Johnson was a Democrat and pro-slavery but he ended up as Lincoln's Vice President.
Andrew Johnson was the "running mate" of President Lincoln in the crucial election of 1864.
The only thing in common that the 2 men had was the fact that their last names contained 7 letters.
The next big assassination took place in 1881 when Chester A. Arthur usurped the Presidency.
The position of Vice President has always been an invitation for an ambitious man to steal the Presidency. Teddy Roosevelt became a "war hero" by riding up San Juan Hill and that was enough propaganda to hand him the Vice Presidency.
Teddy Roosevelt didn't even bother finding a Supreme Court justice to swear him in.
He knew that those "guardians of the law" would ignore his usurpation as long as they kept receiving their fat salaries.
Calvin Coolidge was sworn into the exalted office of President by his own father.
The usurpation of Harry Truman came at the most critical time in the history of the world. The world was about to enter the atomic age when FDR died suddenly of poisoning.
President Roosevelt ran for an unprecedented 4th term in 1944.
Jimmy Byrnes—the assistant President—was absolutely sure that he would be Vice President. To his great surprise, FDR chose Truman instead.
No 2 candidates could have more different than John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.
As usual, voters were never given a choice between the 2 men.
In a court of law, only 2 or 3 witnesses are required to prove a case beyond all reasonable doubt. 8 Presidents have been assassinated, and 8 Vice Presidents have usurped the Presidency. No further witnesses are required.
Since the passage of the 25th or Rockefeller Amendment in 1967, it just makes the Presidency a more tempting target for the Vice President. Some Vice Presidents, like Richard Nixon, were honest men, but the temptation to seize power is inherent in that lawyer concocted scam called the Vice Presidency.
