Bill Clinton is not eligible to be Vice President. The Constitution says that the Vice President must fulfil all the requirements for President, and since he has served two terms, he is no longer eligible to be President. Hence not VP either.

sure, bill Clinton ought to run as Hillary s Vice-Presidential operating mate. Assuming bill maintained his continuous residency interior the U.S., he would meet all the Constitutional eligibility criteria for being President (age, "organic born" citizenship, etc.). hence, bill ought to run for Vice-President. regardless of if bill ought to no longer be elected to the Presidency lower back, he ought to develop into President without an election by succeeding Hillary if she died or in the different case couldn t finished her time period. because the structure (i.e., the twenty second change) in effortless words prohibits someone from being elected President more suitable than two times, bill s ascension to the Presidency without an election would not be unconstitutional.

Slick Willie cannot run for VP, as the Twelfth Amendment states "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

Bill Clinton is not eligible to run for a vice president. The Vice Presidency eligibility is this:
The Vice President must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, at least thirty-five years of age and a resident of the U.S. for 14 years. The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires vice presidents to meet the same eligibility requirements as presidents, and the Twenty-second Amendment limits presidents to being elected to the presidency to only two terms (any period of service in the office of president for two years or more counts as one term). Thus, the maximum number of years a person may serve as president is ten years (two four-year terms and one two-year term having succeeded to the presidency). Once a person is ineligible to the office of president, he is ineligible to the office of vice president. However, a person who has never served six or more years as president (one four-year elected term and one term less than two years having succeeded to the presidency) is eligible for an unlimited number of terms as vice president.

That is an interesting question. I suspect he would not be allowed to run for VP because of the possibilty he could be Pres. again in violation of the Constitution. Just my opinion but it might better be answered by a Constitutional expert. There are some in D.C.

I guess he would have to be, I don't think there's anything against a 2 term president running for Vice President, and it only restricts a 2 term president from running for president, not for being the president.

He cannot run as VP. And I'm not sure whether he can occupy ANY post in the presidential succession.
Anybody know?
