Monarchy manages to get the right stuff at the top.
Elizabeth got in ahead of sex-pot boozer Margaret.
William is up there ahead of ding-bat Harry.
Charles wandered in before Andrew the Headlines.

Ha ha! Yep, well, it reinforces the notion of a constitutional monarchy reigning over a democratically elected parliament when all of them in Europe rank as the most politically stable nations in Europe and the world.

What evidence do you have to doubt that any of the presidents who selected those VPs did not rank competence over not being upstaged?

Ranking?

moving goal posts again?

So, no evidence, then...

You might want to research how many VPs went on to do nothing in politics, not just not being the second-best choice for president (something that Washington and the other founders imagined the VP to be), and compare them to the likes of former VPs Adams and Jefferson, after Washington's presidency.

you're the dumbarse claiming they are not chosen for their competency, it's up to you to prove your statement and not up to me to prove you wrong Roll Eyes

I did. By the history of former VPs.

Competency is not the primary reason for their being chosen.

You're the dumbcunt, trying a deflection by quibbling over semantics.

The first two VPs both became presidents and spent the rest of their lives involved in the building of the republic. They remained relevant public figures their whole lives.

The notion of the two candidates (for president and running mate - VP) began with the idea of parties putting forward their most competent candidates competing for the role of president, with the loser in the election taking the role of VP.

From that beginning, it has descended to having the VP chosen for sometimes political viability (e.g. Lincoln and Andrew Johnson), or more often, someone so innocuous and irrelevant (e.g. George H.W. Bush and Dan Quayle) that the American people barely noticed him at all and barely remember him now.

Jake Tapper's and Alex Thompson's book, 'Original Sin: President Biden's decline, its cover-up and his disastrous choice to run again', provides strong evidence that the Democratic Party conspired to conceal Biden's declining cognitive state from the public.

Having said that, in modern history, the serious health events of at least 4 other presidents were also covered up:

FDR's polio leaving him crippled.

Eisenhower's 2 heart attacks while in office.

JFK's Addison's Disease.

Ronald Reagan's declining cognitive state, which ultimately advanced to dementia.

It's clear that the US needs to consider constitutional amendment(s) to:

Limit the upper age eligibility to run for president,

and/or

Make a thorough physical exam of every candidate for president (and maybe vice president) mandatory, with the results made public.

The most egregious cover-up of a president's serious medical condition, which ultimately resulted in the 25th Amendment being proposed and ratified, was Woodrow Wilson's stroke in 1919 that left him paralysed on his left side.

While he served as president until 1921, his wife, Edith, effectively acted as president, without the Constitutional right nor Congressional approval to do so, and without the knowledge of the American people.

Clearly, the 25th Amendment was drafted such that it is virtually ineffective in achieving its aims.

US presidential candidates are not required to personally reveal their health check outcomes, nor are they required to submit them to a bipartisan Congressional oversight committee.

This means that presidential candidates could suffer from, say, psychosis or schizophrenia or dementia without Congress or the American people being made aware.

They do, I guess... so long as they're aware of that's who they're voting for.

And then the rest of us would all have to live with 'stupid is as stupid does'.

No you didn't. You realise that you claiming they were incompetent doesn't mean that they were incompetent, right? That's just your opinion, not evidence. Cheesy
