Honest question…can’t we assert the last line of the 12th and be done with this? No one who is ineligible to be president can be VP. Or is the interpretation of “qualifications” only what is listed in Art. II? It seems clear that a person elected twice is now ineligible for pres, thus also for VP.

Right. And my wife quit her job as a teacher because childcare is an impossible expense.

And, of course, this is why Vance shoots his mouth off every time he's in front of a microphone. If given the chance, each and every one of these people would be a malicious, fascist, strong-man wielding all the power for themselves.

This is why Burgum is using NPS for personal trips and forcing Interior staff to act as caterers for "official" dinners. This is why Patel and Bongino are beefing up their own security squad to follow them around all day, even though that breaks precedent.

My APUSH kids LOVE this cite. I pair with a great lecture from @rauchway.bsky.social and his arguments about why all of this matters for our conception of democracy.

All has its place, but the foundational skills of social studies (reading, analysis, argumentation, etc) *I think* are better developed when ss majors can be more immersed in their history programs.

I’d say a stronger orientation toward the teaching of history as a discipline. Far more prepared to teach analysis and writing. As a young HS teacher, before grad school in history, I was more pushed toward tech and surface engagement with content as secondary.

I was trained in a College of Education, but now adjunct in a program where it is housed in the History/Politics dept. The student teachers coming out of this program are far more prepared to engage kids in good historical/civic ed than I was. Big advocate of keeping it in History dept.
