In today’s time it’s inconceivable that the President and Vice President could be political enemies but don’t tell that to our founding fathers. For if my reading in “Hamiliton by Ron Chernow is correct then this is a common occurrence in the founding of this nation whether it’s George Washington and John Adams or the more transparent with Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr this appeared to be a common thread. In the case of Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr these individuals were tied to become our 3rd President and only after 36 votes in the House was Thomas Jefferson made the President while Aaron Burr the angry Vice President. It is an amazing read especially since it appears true. It is if today Donald Trump became the President and Hillary Clinton the Vice President wow could history repeat itself?
