For Vice President

   The LP nominee for Vice President is chosen by the convention after
   the nomination for President has been made.  In the past, nominees
   for Vice President have often been individuals who specifically
   sought that position, although the convention is free to select
   one of the candidates who sought the presidential nomination, or
   somebody else entirely.
