No Election for Vice President

Currently, the political parties choose a candidate for President. At a convention the candidate for President then nominates a person to be his running mate and Vice President. That person is then approved by the convention. On election day, the Electors choose the President and Vice President, normally from the same political party according to the wishes expressed by the majority of voters in the State.

The Vice President should not be chosen this way. Instead, the Vice President's office should be filled after the President has been elected. The President should then nominate three candidates. From these three, the Senate would approve one.

In addition, there should be two Vice Presidents. One would be the Vice President for the Interior. The other would be the Vice President for the Exterior. The order of succession would be determined by the President.

Vice President for the Interior
This Vice President would report to the President on all matters within the United States.

Vice President for the Exterior
This Vice President would report to the President on all matters outside the United States.
