湯瑪斯傑佛遜 (Thomas Jefferson) 於1801217日贏得選舉與總統職位

在他勝選三年後,憲法第十二號修正案正式通過。這個修正案賦予公民「在不同選票上圈選總統與副總統人選」的權力。

直到現在,如果你想要競選美國總統,你再也不必擔心會變成副總統了。


Three years after Jefferson was elected, the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution was adopted. This amendment provides that citizens "name in their ballots the person voted for as president, and in (different) ballots the person voted for as vice president."

Today, if you run for president of the United States, you won't have to worry about being elected vice president instead.
