  • I think that’s more that tener (to have) doesn’t always mean a physical thing.

    As an example in spanish they use tener for age. As in tengo 20 años literally is “I have 20 years” but it means “I am 20”

    Or ten cuidado means “take care” or “be careful” but literally is more like “have care”. Both phrases use tener in a nonphysical sense in the same way as in english we use “to have”. Like to have compassion or to have doubts.


  • The 12th amendment states no person ineligible for the presidency can hold the vice presidency.

    The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
