How vice presidential candidates are selected
Prior to the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment in 1804, the runner-up in the presidential election became vice president of the United States. The Twelfth Amendment required ballots to be cast separately for the offices of president and vice president.[17]
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, vice presidential candidates were typically chosen by the party to balance a ticket either geographically or ideologically. In 1960, for example, John F. Kennedy (D), a northerner, chose Lyndon B. Johnson (D) from Texas to be his running mate. Elaine Kamarck, the founding director of the Center for Effective Public Management, said this framework began to shift in 1992 for a partnership model. Recent presidents "have chosen running mates for their ability to help them be partners in the ever more complex governing process," Kamarck said.[18]
Changes to the primary process in the 20th century also adjusted the purpose of the national convention, with most presidential nominees securing the nomination prior to the event. The last multi-ballot Democratic national convention took place in 1952.[18] Conventions were no longer a forum for debate and negotiation around the selection of the vice presidential candidate. For this reason, nearly every Democratic and Republican vice presidential nominee since 1984 has been announced prior to the national convention.[19]
Democratic and Republican delegates still vote to approve the vice presidential nominee at their conventions, but do so through acclamation rather than a roll call vote.[20][21][22] Green and Libertarian delegates vote on a vice presidential candidate at their conventions. At the 2020 Libertarian National Convention, for example, the vice presidential vote went to a third ballot.
