    Vice presidents are technically elected.

    They originally were directly elected as presidents by the electoral college (which is a completely different problem we need to address), whoever was the runner up, became vice president. However, after the 12th amendment they are elected as vice president by the electoral college.

    I think it would be interesting to allow voting for the vp separately on the ballot, but only if it’s popular vote, which should be happening for President as well.
