No, Barack Obama can’t be VP because of the 25th amendment.

I thought that only applies to President.


The amendment clarifies that should the President die, be incapacitated or removed, the VP assumes the presidency.  As the amendment also prohibits a person from serving more than 6 years through 2 terms as President, it would also prohibit them from the position of VP.  I guess you could argue that so long as Obama didn't take over the Presidency with more than 2 years left in Biden's term it could be legal, but most scholars view it as a blanket prohibition.


Oops, the bolded portion is actually from the 22nd amendment, not the 25th.  Goof on me.  The 12th Amendment says anyone not eligible to be President, can't be VP.

What if Obama (either Barack or Michelle) was the Vice on the ticket?

Can that happen or is there a rule against that like there is for president?

I just think Biden comes off way too goofy.

Thanks man, got it.

It's really funny how short and inconclusive this clip is. It sounds a lot like Catcher, tho.


No worries.  I used your Madagascar performance for a project in college, so it's the least I could do.

What? Do you mean a recording I made back in 2004-ish? hahaha

Hopefully you managed to graduate after that. 16


Haha, yep that's the one.

Are people of Jamaica indigenous? Or were they brought there from Africa?

Like Haiti, it’s a mix, though obviously their ancestors hailed from Africa. The british imported slaves to work their sugar colonies.  It’s just that they were never part of the American issue of civil rights, so claiming to be victims of it is disingenuous.

And Kamala is Indian as in from India or Native American?

Her mother is from India. Her father, Jamaica. Don Lemon said she wasn’t african american 6 months ago, because she has no connection to Jim Crow or Slavery, same as Obama. It was fine when he said it, but now it’s apparently racist to point that out when she tries to play the race card.

I’m hoping Andrew Yang is able to get automation into the discussion from both parties. Automation is our greatest threat, more so than climate change. And no one wants to talk about it.
