It would have been very simple to say, "Any person who has served as President for two terms, or for one term plus 731 days, shall be permenently ineligible to the office of President or Vice-President".

Yes, but it isn't necessary to recapitulate the 12th amendment.

I see your argument though, that "election" and "eligibility" can somehow be construed differently. The argument has to boil down to "Clinton is not constitutionally ineligible to the office of President," even in light of the 22nd amendment. I wouldn't want to be the one making the argument.

That's because you are not a leftist sociopath.
