The founders were still calling the shots when they made that change. Adams and Jefferson were the president and vice president in question.
They did it, thinking it was better than leaving it as is.
I can't say for sure they are wrong. Can you imagine if you got to be president if you political opponent dies? The guy that beat you to the job?
Pretty tempting situation for the vice president.
Ok. That is a REALLY good point. There would be serious murder happening. I am dumbfounded I never thought of it.
