No, each party's nominee for US President selects the party's nominee for Vice President, subject to the approval of the party. The election of 1796 was the only US presidential election in which the presidential candidate of the opposing political party won the vice presidency instead of the winning presidential candidate's party's choice for running mate. The 12th Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified in 1804, ensures that people of opposing political parties can no longer become President and Vice President in that way, but the likelihood of candidates of opposing parties being elected President and Vice President at the same time still exists for cases in which no presidential or vice presidential candidate receives enough electoral votes while the US House and Senate are controlled by opposing parties.
