akshay_budhkar · Answer

i believe they are dependent on each other.. still you may confirm with others:)

anonymous · Answer

I'd say they are independent. Presidents can't choose vice-presidents right?

anonymous · Answer

this is rather meaningless

akshay_budhkar · Answer

they must be dependent because if a guy is chosen to be a president he doesnt participate for other elections.. so he is excluded..

anonymous · Answer

but you are supposed to say "dependent"

anonymous · Answer

for exactly the reason akshay said. if you are chosen for president then you cannot be chosen for vice president

anonymous · Answer

akshay_budhkar · Answer

no of ppl participating for other elecctions decreases..
