. . . Amendment XII would operate only to prevent the New York Electors from voting for Donald Trump for President and Ivanka Trump for Vice President. That is, were Donald Trump to win the New York "popular vote," he could receive all of the votes of the New York Electors, but those same Electors could not cast their second vote for Ivanka Trump as Vice President. They'd have to vote for somebody else, if they wanted their second (Vice Presidential) vote to count.

Of course, not one element of this scenario will ever come into play in any event.
