I like but the President and vice president can’t be from the same state or am I misinformed on that?

You hear this misconception often. It is a non-issue unless the election is close. The example is if Cheney hadn't "moved" to Wyoming they would have lost to Gore/Lieberman because of the Article 2 clause: "The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves." It is an issue in close elections but not is elections with a wider margin but it is easy enough to rectify beforehand.
