Constitution says you cannot be elected to president more than 2 times but, what about becoming a vice-president?

The limit is number of times one could get elected. Your scenario is not about Bill getting elected the third time.

Technically Bill could not become president if he were the vice president when Hilary dies. I believe that the succession should go then to the Speaker of the House. There are two problems there that are super scary. Both Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi (that is if she happens to still be the S H at the time) are scary enough choices as it is, so we are screwed either way. But I would not put it past Hillary to do something to guarantee Bill gets in by circumventing the law or changing it while she is in office. This poor country, because that scenario would be the end to everything we hold sacred. Let us pray it never happens.

1) Hilary Clinton running with Bill as her vice- president would never ever be elected.
2) If in an extreme situation they did get elected, and Hilary died, Bill would not become President seeing as he has already served 2 terms
3) In that case the Speaker of the House takes over.

Either one of two things. Either no; because that could lead to him being president. Or yes; and if Hilary would die, then the presidency would skip him and would go to the next man in line for presidency after the Vice President (Not sure who it is, but they have it lined up for miles)

It would seem unreal that congress would allow Bill Clinton to be in a position to begin a third term. If he did, and Hilary did die, it would seem realistic that the majority speaker would be the president (majority speaker is third in line for presidency should the vice president die)

Hillary could not make Bill her vice president. If her vice president resigned and she selected him to replace her V.P. and the Senate confirmed this appointment and then she died or was incapacitated then the Speaker of the House would become President.
The practical point is that Slick Willy could NEVER become V.P.

The 22nd amendment says that if you were elected to the office of President twice, then you are not eligible to be Vice-President in a future administration.

Becoming president again, I don't think so, but being a vice I think it is possible.

"as nicely, the 12th modification to the united states shape states that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the workplace of President would be eligible to that of Vice-President of the united states." that's perfect to the above standards and to the eliminating of eligibility afforded with the help of the Presidential term limits defined interior the Twenty-2d modification to the united states shape. In different words, in case you will't be elected President, you will't be elected vp. No President who has served for 2 words (or one term and extra effective than 2 years of a 2d), could be elected vp."

Hillary would have to choose a running mate before the election ever occurred. Theoretically she could choose Bill as her running mate, but I doubt that she would do so. Too much baggage, and too much of a political lightening rod.
