Clinton cannot be elected President again. There fore he is INELIGIBLE to be President again.

Suppose George W. Bush were elected to the House, and after a long and distinguished legislative career was elected Speaker.

Then suppose the Presidency were to devolve on the Speaker beacuse of a terrorist attack or natural disaster.

Do you contend that, because Mr. Bush could not be chosen again by the Electoral College that he would not succeed to the office?

Of course he would.

The XXII Amendment does not bar elevation to the Presidency by succession, and there is no way to construe that it does.

Because this is true, the XII Amendment bar does not apply.

in your example, W would be able to serve as Pres for the resto fo the appointed term and be allowed to run for one elected term. It’s very clear in the 22nd.

Clinton is constitutionally inelgible to be President because he cannot be elected again. The 22nd amendment two term limitation makes Clinton inelgible, by the constitution. This is not hard to understand.
