True, but it still is a reason - and that makes it the same reason for both of them.

Ah. So Bill being ineligible because he served two terms is the same reason as Hillary being ineligible because she is female?

Have you ever looked up the meaning of the word "same" in the dictionary?

Nooo... being ineligble for the vice presidency because one is inelgible for the presidency, is the same as being ineligible for the vice presidency because one is ineligible for the presidency.

You can always keep deferring reasons. Spending any degree of time with a small child will prove that. He'll ask why something is, and you tell him, and then he'll say "Why?", and then you answer that, and he'll say "Why?", etc., etc. Even if the answer to the first "Why?" is precisely the same for two different observations, or even the first three "Why?"s, eventually the answers will start to diverge.
