Clarification... you said "running mate" - Vice President... which would make it the jurisdiction of the 12th Amendment, which states that one must meet the Constitutional qualifications to be elected President, as outlined in Article II, Section 1, to be elected Vice President....
but amending the 12th amendment wouldn't do much for McCain's case at all - while Amending Article I, Section 2 would possibly solve for both... hence my previous statement.
