I can't remember clearly but I think that when it actually happened, ( a prez and VP of different parties) it caused a lot of turmoil both in the election process and during the term in office.
I think it was Jefferson a small d, democrat had a Federalist VP and it was a mess so they changed the rules so that it would always be two men of the same party.
And really, what's a vp's job other than to be alive and not publicly slam the prez?
