The United States Constitution does not require a president and vice president to be from different states, but does demands some balance, as Electoral College voters cannot vote for two people from their state. For example, if Dick Cheney had not moved back to his home state of Wyoming before the 2000 election, each Electoral College voter from Texas would not have been able to vote both for George W. Bush as president and for Cheney as vice president, and possibly the Senate would have had to pick one (either Cheney or Joe Lieberman, the top 2 vote-getters), due to the close Electoral College result 2000 election.
