"The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires vice presidents to meet the same requirements as presidents, and the 22nd amendment limits presidents to being elected to only two terms. It is, however, debated whether a former two-term president could be elected Vice President since the 22nd amendment doesn’t limit a president to serving two terms; it only prevents him from being elected to more than two terms. According to one interpretation a two term president could be elected to the vice-presidency and then serve another term in the presidency if the elected president died or was removed from office. The 22nd amendment only forbids election to, not service in, the presidency more than twice. In such a circumstance the two-term president turned vice president would still be elected to the presidency twice."

I will say NO. This being as a president can only serve two terms in office. So this being and he ran and got elected to V.P. and the president elect got killed or died this would make the V.P. the president. And since he can only serve two terms in office he wouldn't be able to do another term as president. I Could be wrong though.

Very interesting question. Since most of our two-term presidents end their presidency well past retirement age, it really hasn't been much of an issue. In fact, Clinton might be the only two-term president that might be able to pull it off. But I suspect that he is going to try for First Gentleman instead.
I could be wrong, but I don't think any of our two-term presidents WANT to return to the oval office (with the exception of maybe Clinton). The rest are MORE THAN HAPPY to live the remainder of their days spending the tax dollars we continue to pay them.
In other words, it's a great question to ponder, but I doubt it will ever happen.

The vp also serve an same quantity of words with the president, then in a lengthy time period if he desires to run for president in a later election he might want to be in a position to finish that.

actually he can't. as once the two full terms under the act is fulfilled, he can no longer be president. by running for vice-president, if something were to happen to the president or he must act in his place, he would go beyond the term by law. therefore they wouldn't be allowed to run.

Nope, once a president runs twice for office he is not allowed to run again in any seat in that very same office . someone pasted amendment 12 read it over . the is specific stipulation is that a president once in office cant run for another seat in tha office ever again .

No, he cannot. Even though the constitution does not specifically stipulate a rule according to this, it is understood that once you have done your two terms as president, you are done with being in public office.

no, because he can't be president for a third term if the president were to die
