I know the president is restricted to two consecutive terms but does that mean two terms period? What about running as vice-president and would having previously held the higher office affect the line of succession?

Nope. After FDR and his 4 terms the amendment limiting terms was put in place. It's 2 terms now, even if someone comes between.

All I know is that a president can only hold office for a total of ten years that is two years if a President dies and they are the vice and take over plus two full terms if elected.... But as running for another office I doubt they would want to do that..

No president can be elected more than twice. I believe this means that a former president who has served two-terms could still hold of the office of the presidency for a third-term, if the prior president left office or passed away (since he or she would not be elected as President in this case).

The Clinton's are no diverse than Obama. Clinton's first 2 years are the explanation the Republicans gained back the final public interior the domicile for the 1st time in 40 years. The Republicans made Clinton's presidency a success. Clinton desperate to artwork with the Republicans. He did no longer punish the rustic in hopes of forcing the Republicans to do what he needed. i might in no way vote for yet another Clinton any further than i might vote for yet another Bush and that i in no way voted for a Bush.

They can run again after another president has served his term(s).

No. Please read amendment 22 of the Constitution. It is very clear that the limit is 2 terms, regardless of whether they are consecutive or not.

2 TERMS IS THE LIMIT.
AND I BELIEVE A FORMER PRESIDENT CAN RUN AS A VICE -PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

I surely hope they can't.The thought that bush would put himself back into office again in 2012 is scary!

The short answer is Clinton could make another run. We need him now but he will probably not do it.
