“Fortunately, Bill Clinton is constitutionally ineligible...no one ineligible to be elected President may be elected Vice President.”
That is not correct. The 12th Amendment says that no one constitutionally ineligible to the office of president (i.e., those who are not natural-born citizens, or are under 35, or have been a resident of the U.S. for less than 14 years, or are ineligible for federal office as per Section 3 of the 14th Amendment) shall be eligible to that of VP. The 22nd Amendment disqualifies Bill Clinton from being *elected* president (”[n]o person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice”), but does not make him ineligible to the office of the presidency itself. Thus, Bill Clinton could serve as president if he acceded to the office, whether from the vice presidency or somewhere else in the line of succession. Just like the Constitution would not prevent Clinton from becoming VP pursuant to the provisions for filling a vice presidential vacancy set forth in Section 2 of the 25th Amendment (nominated by the president and confirmed by both houses of Congress), nothing in the Constitution would prevent Clinton from being elected VP (and, in theory, the president could resign a minute after taking office and Clinton could serve as president for four years). There’s an entire chapter regarding this issue in “Constitutional Cliffhangers,” which is a terrific book by Brian Kalt that makes constitutional law accessible even to non-lawyers:

Fortunately, however, I don’t think that Mitt Romney will select Bill Clinton as his runningmate (or George W. Bush, for that matter). : )
