Let me see, he’s been elected twice and he is from the same state as his wife. Pick a reason why, constitutionally, he can’t be VP.

Do they think we are all idiots?

I think the reason former President Clinton wouldn’t want to be Vice President is because his office would be subject to congressional oversight. I don’t see why he couldn’t be just as influential as a non-elected, non-appointed private citizen. When Bill Clinton tells Beijing at a dinner party that they can have Taiwan if they’d just sign President Hillary Clinton’s “Clean Air Treaty of 2010”, they can be confident he’s speaking for the President even if it’s not coming from a formal official.

Letterman obviously thinks all his viewers are. He may be right at that.

The Constitution does not say that the President and Vice President cannot be from teh same state. It says that the electors from that state cannot vote for both of them. ("...one of whom, at least, shall not be from the same state as themselves.")
