A former president can become a vice president because there is no prohibition under the constitution.

Yes, a former President may become Vice President. This was actually discussed in 1980 when Ronald Reagan was running for President. Former President Ford was discussed as his running mate against President Carter. President Ford turned down the opportunity.
The only limitations on being President are age (must be 35), citizenship (cannot be naturalized) and the limit of 2 elections and the maximum 10 years that can be served.

No, because if the president is unable to serve the remaining time of his term, the first person in the presidential succession would be the vice president.

that's a really good question-from what i understand (I'm a layman) of the constitution is that yes they can. it would be weird if Hillary ran and her husband was the first man/VP/exprez funny stuff that happens all to often in American politics
