What amendment separated voting for president and vice president in the electoral college?
The 12th Amendment of the Constitution states that electors are to vote separately for the president and vice president, on separate electoral ballots.Before this amendment the electors cast two votes in one election and the second-place finisher was made vice-president. In 1800 Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr, tied in electoral votes, sending the election into the House of Representatives to decide and this event prompted the introduction and ratification of the 12th amendment in time for the 1804 election.The 12th amendment does this. .Before this amendment, ratified in the early 1800s, the person with the most votes became president and the person with the next greatest number of votes became vice president.

What was the cause of the 12th amendment?
The election process right off was clumsy and didn't work well. It began with the 1796 election and got worse by 1800, so in 1803 congress began to work out another method. This became the electoral college and in1804 the 12th amendment was passed.
