The law is two terms or 10 years. He can be vice president and he can serve as president for two more years.

Can be elected as VP but not President due to the statute of limitations. The Presidency would go to the Speaker of the House in case of demise.

"to boot, the 12th modification to america shape states that "no one constitutionally ineligible to the workplace of President would be eligible to that of Vice-President of america." it is appropriate to the above standards and to the removing of eligibility afforded by making use of the Presidential term limits defined interior the Twenty-2nd modification to america shape. In different words, if one won't be able to be elected President, one won't be able to be elected vp. No President who has served for 2 words (or one term and better than 2 years of a 2nd), could be elected vp."

No. you cant be VP unless you are eligible for the Presidency. There is no statute of limitations involved in political office.

The rule is (I forget which amendment) that no one can serve more than two consecutive terms as President. Theoretically, that means that a President, after serving two straight terms, could sit one out, then be elected for two more consecutive terms. What he does while out of the Oval Office is immaterial. Several former Presidents have served in the Senate and at least one served in the Supreme Court.

I sure hope not.
I don't think it would be legal.
They both were already president from 1993-2001.
