i think she would have to appoint him as her running mate and then he would have to be approved by the democratic party. i'm not certain, it's been so long since i studied all of that.

12th and 22nd amendment are extremely clear: the qualifications for vice president are the same as President, and NOBODY can run for either office who has been elected president twice. The only way Slick Willy could get back into the White House is to get himself elected Speaker of the House and then off the pres and V.P. somehow. Which I wouldn't put past him.

Actually the 12th and 22nd amendments do NOT prevent this from happening. The term limit for the Presidency ONLY applies to that office. There currently are no term limits for the Vice Presidency. Any Past President who served 2 terms as President CAN indeed later be elected to and serve as a Vice President for as long as they can get re-elected.

No.

NO!

No... She can not select him to be her VP..

Thank you for the clear and concise answer. However... the U.S. Constitution, it could be argued, only bars those "ineligible" to be elected President, to be Vice President. The Constitution specifically states that to be eligible, that you must be a U.S. citizen, 35 years old or older and a resident of the United States for 14 years or more to be eligible to be elected to the office of President. Bill Clinton fits all the constitutionally mandated criteria to be eligible to hold the office of President. Therefore one could argue that he could hold the office of Vice President and then assume the office of President not via an election, but in the unfortunate event the elected President could not fulfill his or her term of office for some reason. If one were a strict constructionist, then this argument would be very compelling as the 12th amendment explicitly uses the words "ineligible to the office " and what the criteria are that make you "ineligible to the office" are clearly outlined in Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which outlines exactly what makes one "eligible to the office of President". This is by no means a slam dunk argument, as with the majority of constitutional questions, there are arguments on both sides and if President Clinton ever did run for Vice President, or even be nominated or elected to a position that put him in the line ascension, no doubt legal challenges would be made to clarify this question constitutionally.

No. First off, the President does not select the VP. The VP is selected, like the president, by the electoral college. Second, the 12th Amendment states "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." The 22nd Amendment limits presidential eligibility to people who have not already served two terms as president. Since Bill Clinton has served 2 terms as President, he is ineligible to be VP.

Original Constitution, and reform John Adams, America's first Vice President Under the original terms of the Constitution, the members of the U.S. Electoral College voted only for office of president rather than for both president and vice president. Each elector was allowed to vote for two people for the top office. The person receiving the greatest number of votes (provided that such a number was a majority of electors) would be president, while the individual who received the next largest number of votes became vice president. If no one received a majority of votes, then the U.S. House of Representatives would choose among the five highest vote-getters, with each state getting one vote. In such a case, the person who received the highest number of votes but was not chosen president would become vice president. If there were a tie for second, then the U.S. Senate would choose the vice president.For much of its existence, the office of Vice President was seen as little more than a minor position. John Adams, the first vice president, described it as "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived." Even 150 years later, 32nd Vice President John Nance Garner famously described the office as "not worth a pitcher of warm piss" (at the time reported with the bowdlerization "spit"). Thomas R. Marshall, the 28th Vice President, lamented: "Once there were two brothers. One went away to sea; the other was elected vice president. And nothing was heard of either of them again." When the Whig Party was looking for a vice president on Zachary Taylor's ticket, they approached Daniel Webster, who said of the offer "I do not intend to be buried until I am dead." The natural stepping stone to the Presidency was long considered to be the office of Secretary of State. It has only been fairly recently that this notion has reversed; indeed, the notion was still very much alive when Harry Truman became the vice president for Franklin Roosevelt.

I thought it was clearly stated that a person may only serve two CONSECUTIVE terms as President. That doesn't stop Bill from running again as an independent or something else, nor would it stop Hillary from choosing him IF she were still campaigning and in the race. That's what MY history books always said.
