No, because (see my previous post), the eligibility requirements in Article 2 specifically state the requirements to be "eligible to the office," while the 22nd Amendment merely defines how many times one can be "elected to the office."

This has nothing to do with whether we like Clinton or not. The Constitution does not prevent him from being elected Veep, or assuming the presidency if something ... ummmm, happens to the prez.

If we can prohibit him (or any president who cannot be elected) from running, couldn't we also prevent a former president who might be in the line of succession (e.g. cabinet official) from taking the office as theoretically all the ones ahead of him can die or resign?

In any event, adding Clinton to the mix would only lose Kerry votes.
