There is nothing in the Constitution that specifically prohibits it but I believe the Supreme Court would likely interpret the Constitution in this way. Because the Vice President could become President it would violate the 22nd Amendment which states that someone may not become President again. So I would say it is probably not a good idea.

Yes, as long as he has only served one term. Assuming the current President dies or is removed from office during their first term the former president (aka vice president) may only fulfill the remainder of the term.

It depends on how many years he served as president. A person can only serve 8 years in office. If a president has already served 8 years in office, he is ineligible to become president again, and is not able to serve as the VP.

In the US, probably not if he has served 2 terms. Because, if the president should die, he would become president for a third term. As he cannot do that, he would have to step down and so holding the position is pointless.

There is no law in the Constitution that syas yes or no. However, if a President has served as long as the Constitution allows him, then there may have to be some kind of supreme court ruling on it.

Actually, I do not think that provision in the Constitution is even covered. Great question. I just hope it never happens. Clinton e Clinton, what a mess during a Tiff between the two narcissistic couple.

Not in America, unless he only served one term as president

that actually a good question. Its prob. constitutional law thats involved. You cant be elected president more than x times but since the VP is only a back up I think it would be ok.

No, Hillary cannot select Bill as her running mate, look at the last sentence in the 12th Amendment.
