Kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngusekela mongameli we-United States of America? Yindima ebonakalise ngakumbi kunayo nantoni na, kunye nendlela yokulinganisa itikiti ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na enye into. Rhoqo, ukhetho ngumntu olondolozayo kunye / okanye omncinci, kodwa kwimeko yomgqatswa weDemokhrasi, uJoe Biden, ukhethe umntu omncinci nakwinxele lakhe lezopolitiko. (Ushiyeke njani xa hayi xa kuthelekiswa neBiden… andiphikisi. Ndithetha nje iinyani.)
Kwiminyaka yokuqala yaseMelika, i-vice-kamongameli yayiyindima edidayo ngakumbi, ihlala ibonwa ngathi ayingomsebenzi wokwenene kunye nelitye lokunyathela ubongameli, ukuba ubenethamsanqa. Ke, nazi ezinye zeeflops zembali yaseMelika abathi babeka isekela likamongameli. (Ndikuphephe ukukhetha abantu abaya kuba ngumongameli, okanye nayiphi na i-post-H. W. Bush. Ngaphandle koko, olu luhlu luya kubonakala luhluke kakhulu.)
UAaron Burr, Mnumzana:
Ungamazi kakuhle kumculo obanzi we-Broadway Hamilton , kodwa ngelishwa, ngaphandle kwelizwi eliphuphayo likaLeslie Odum Jr., uBurr ngumntu onomtsalane kangako. Uzalelwe kusapho oludumileyo lwaseNew Jersey, umsebenzi kaBurr kunye nelifa lakhe njengoBawo oSekekileyo wonakaliswa kakhulu kukubulala imbangi yakhe, u-Alexander Hamilton, kwimbambano.
Ngexesha le-duel, uBurr wayenguSekela Mongameli phantsi kukaThomas Jefferson. Bobabini IDemokhrasi-yeRiphabhlikhi , Kwaye uBurr wayengumntu ophambili kwezopolitiko zaseNew York. UBur wayenoxanduva lokuseka iBhanki yeNkampani yeManhattan, ebeka uqhekeko kulawulo lweFederalist lwenkqubo yebhanki. Ngethuba lonyulo luka-1800, uBurr weza okwesibini kuJefferson xa iNdlu yabaMeli kwafuneka iphule iqhina leKholeji yoNyulo phakathi kwaba babini, ngelo xesha eyamenza ukuba abe yipepi.
UJefferson akazange amthembe uBurr, kwaye inkwenkwe yaseJersey yagcinwa ngaphandle kweentlanganiso zekhabhinethi. Ngenxa yoku, wonke umntu wayesazi ukuba uBurr wayeza kulahlwa kwitikiti le-1804. Ewe, ngelixesha kwaye ebona umsebenzi wakhe wezopolitiko ejikeleza indlu yangasese, uBurr waphela engqubana no… uqikelele, Hamilton.
Njengoko umculo wasifundisa sonke, bobabini babandakanyeka kwi-duel ngoJulayi 11, 1804, ngaphandle kwe-Weehawken, eNew Jersey. Ngubani owadubula kuqala, kakhulu njengoHan vs. Greedo, uyaphikisana ngenxa yeerekhodi ezixubekileyo, kodwa yayinguHamilton owaphela eswelekile, kwaye uBurr uthathe inxaxheba kwi-duel, njenge-veep, ekhokelela ekubulaweni komnye uBawo oSungula- hayi ibmonakalo entle.
Emva koko, uBurr watyholwa nangobuqhophololo bokwenza iyelenqe lokudala ilizwe elizimeleyo kumazantsi-ntshona e-United States nakwiindawo ezithile zaseMexico. Ngelixa, ekugqibeleni, wafunyanwa engenatyala, igama lakhe ladutyulwa, kwaye wagqibela esweleka eyedwa kwaye emoshakele ngokwezezimali ngo-1836.
USpiro Agnew:
U-Spiro Theodore Agnew unomahluko wokuba usekela-mongameli wesibini wase-United States ukuba arhoxe kwesi sikhundla (owokuqala nguJohn C. Calhoun — sizakufika kuye) kwaye, ngelinye ixesha, singoyena mntu ukhohlakeleyo Ulawulo lweNixon-kwaye kunjalo nzulu Ndithetha kakhulu.
UAgnew wayengunyana katata ongumama ongumama kunye nomama waseVirginia. Wagqiba ukuqhuba iCongress eMaryland, kwaye nangona wayekhankanya kwi-docket eqhubekayo, wagqiba ekubeni wayechasene namaLungelo oLuntu xa kuziwa ekuxhaseni ubunkokheli obumnyama. Emva kwebhombu ye-16th Street Baptist e-Alabama, u-Agnew wala ukuya kwinkonzo yesikhumbuzo kwicawa yase-Baltimore wagxeka umboniso ocwangcisiweyo wokuxhasa amaxhoba. Ukhuphe uninzi lweempempe zenja ezichasene noMnyama ezithandwa liqela leRiphabhlikhi namhlanje, ebiza iinkokheli eziMnyama ukuba zilwe, kwaye oku kwamenza ukuba abe ngumfanekiso olungileyo kuNixon, owayenguRepublican ophakathi ephepheni kwaye wayezama ukulinganisa itikiti lakhe.
Kwindlela yomkhankaso, u-Agnew wayengenangxaki ngokusebenzisa ubuhlanga kunye nokuhlambalaza ngokobuhlanga okanye ukuthetha ngokuchasene nabanye abongamela, nto leyo eyamenza waduma ngakumbi. U-Agnew waba yinxalenye yobuso bomthetho kunye nocwangco kwaye wavumela uNixon ukuba afumane ukuthandwa eMantla nase Mzantsi. Njenge veep, u-Agnew wayebizwa ngokuba ngu-Nixon's Nixon kwaye wahlasela amajelo eendaba, ebatyhola ngokuba bachasene namaRiphabhlikhi kwaye banika ilizwi ekukhathazekeni okuziva ngelo xesha (indoda, ixesha ngu isangqa esicaba).
Ngoku, konke oku kwakulungile ngokwembono yeNixon, de uNixon noAgnew ekugqibeleni baxabana kuba uAgnew wayezimele kakhulu kwaye ethetha phandle. Uyazi uDick akathandi ukukhutshwa. Ngaphezu koko, u-Agnew wayekhula ethandwa kakhulu, kwaye ke, ngexesha lika-1972 lajikeleza, kwakungacaci ukuba uAgnew wayeza kuphinda abe kwitikiti kwakhona, kodwa ekugqibeleni, konke kwahlangana.
Ingxaki yokwenyani yeza xa igqwetha laseMelika e-District of Maryland lavula ityala malunga nenkohliso eBaltimore, kunye nokuqikelela ukuba ngubani oza: Spiro Agnew. U-Agnew wanyanzelwa ukuba arhoxe ngenxa yokuba ungeke ube ngumthetho kwaye u-odole kwezopolitiko xa usenza ulwaphulo-mthetho, kwithiyori, kunjalo. UGerald Ford waba ngusekela Mongameli emva kuka-Agnew kwaye, kamva, waba ngumongameli xa uNixon washiya isikhundla sobongameli emva kwesikhalazo se-Watergate.
Iintaka zosiba kunye nantoni.
UJohn C. Calhoun:
Xa ugqiba ukuba ngusekela mongameli kumadoda amabini athiyanayo emva koko bobabini baphela bekuthiyile, mhlawumbi ingxaki nguwe, Calhoun?
UJohn C. Calhoun wayengumntu ocalucalula ubuhlanga, ubuzwe, ukhozi emfazweni, umnini-khoboka owayekhe wathi ubukhoboka yinto elungileyo, kwaye usekela-mongameli kubo bobabini uJohn Quincy Adams noAndrew Jackson, abathi, bethathela ingqalelo umahluko wabo omkhulu, bakuxelele indlela obucekeceke ngayo UCalhoun wayenjalo.
Ngaphantsi kwe-Adams, wayechasene nezicwangciso ezininzi ezenziwe ngumongameli, kwaye ngaphambi kokuba kuprintwe ukuvota, wakhwela inqanawa waya kwiqela likaJackson, ethembisa ukuxhasa i-Old Hickory ngexesha lonyulo oluzayo. Oko kwafumana uCalhoun indawo ye-veep kwakhona.
Nangona kunjalo, uCalhoun noJackson babengavani. Ukuqhekeka kobudlelwane babo kwafika xa uCalhoun engazange amxhase uJackson ngexesha le-petticoat affair, apho abafazi baseWashington bamnqanda uPeggy Eaton, umfazi kaNobhala weMfazwe waseJackson. UJackson wayenomdla ngakumbi kwezi zinto ukusukela oko umfazi wakhe, uRachel, watsala iPadmé kwaye wasweleka emva kokuba umatshini wokushicilela wanyelisa igama lakhe.
I-Calhoun nayo yaxelwa ukuba iyathanda ukugweba uJackson ngo-1818 uhlaselo lwaseFlorida. UJackson wayengenguye umlandeli wokunganyaniseki, kwaye uMartin Van Buren, owayeza kuba ngowokuqala kumgca omde wokudanisa oomongameli abazalwe eNew York (ngaphandle kweRovelvelts), wayekhona ukuba abe ngumlobi kaJackson.
Ingxaki yokupheliswa ngo-1832-33, apho iSouth Carolina (ilizwe laseCalhoun) yabhengeza ukuba imirhumo yomanyano yowe-1828 nowe-1832 yayingahambelani nomgaqo-siseko, yayingumququ wokugqibela. UCalhoun wawumisa loo mlilo, kwaye waphela eshiya phantsi njenge-veep.
UThomas Marshall:
Sitsibela phambili kubongameli bukaWoodrow Wilson, kwaye owesibini nguThomas R. Marshall waseIndiana. Ngo-1919, uWilson wabethwa sistroke kwaye washiyeka engakwazi kuzenzela nto. Umfazi kaWilson uEdith kunye nabacebisi bakhe babengafuni ukuxelela uMarshall kuba babengamthandi, kwaye basebenzela ukugcina uMarshall ebumnyameni kangangoko kunokwenzeka.
Ekugqibeleni, uMarshall wabizwa ngamalungu ekhabhinethi ukuba athathe indawo, kodwa i-veep yayiqinisekile ngaloo nto. Wayefuna uWilson ukuba amnike ngokusesikweni amandla kamongameli, kodwa ngokucinga… wayengenamandla kwaye kungekho mntu wayemthanda, kwakungazukwenzeka oko. UMarshall waziva engonwabanga ukuba ngumongameli okanye ukubeka emngciphekweni ukubeka umzekelo. Oku kunqongophala kobunkokheli kwavumela i-League of Nations ukuba ingagunyaziswanga, into abathi ababhali-mbali ngeyona nto yenze umahluko omkhulu ekuthinteleni iMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi, endicinga ukuba yanele ukumbeka kolu luhlu.
UMarshall ukwanguye kuphela yaziwa i-veep yenziwe ukuba ibe yeyona nto bekujoliswe kuyo ekubulaweni.
UDan Quayle:
Ukuqala kwam ukuva igama likaDan Quayle, kwavakala ukuba liqhelekile, kodwa andinakuyibeka, ehlanganisa uQuayle omninzi ngokwakhe. Usekela-mongameli phantsi kukaGeorge H. W. Bush, yeyiphi into uQuayle awayesaziwa ngayo yayikukuthetha izinto ezothusayo esidlangalaleni.
Ngomhla we-19 kaMeyi, 1992, wenza intetho emva kwezidubedube zaseLos Angeles, esithi kungenxa yokonakala kwemilinganiselo yokuziphatha. Kule ntetho, yena wakhankanya umboniso UMurphy Brown ngegama, esithi, ayincedi nganto ukuba ixesha lokuqala likamabonwakude linaye uMurphy Brown — umlinganiswa ekuthiwa ungumfazi okrelekrele, ohlawulwa kakhulu, oqeqeshiweyo — ehlekisa ngokubaluleka kootata, ngokuzala umntwana yedwa, embiza nje enye 'indlela yokuphila'.
Ukuqengqeleka kwamehlo kwakuyinyani.
Akuzange kuncede into yokuba uQuayle persona kukuba wayengafaneleki kwaye engakhanyi kakhulu. Nazi ezinye… masibabize nje Quayle-isms :
Kutshanje bendikhenketho lweLatin America, kwaye ekuphela kwento endizisola ngayo kukuba andifundanga nzima isiLatin esikolweni ukuze ndikwazi ukuncokola nabo bantu.
Abantu baseRiphabhlikhi bayakuqonda ukubaluleka kobukhoboka phakathi kukamama nomntwana.
Ngeliphandle, ootitshala kuphela kobugcisa obufundisa abantwana bethu.
Ihlobo.
Owu, naye uvela eIndiana.
