Fair enough. He could obviously carpetbag to another state. He would be constitutionally ineligible to be VP if there were more than two years left in the term. Clearly, he is ineligible to run again for a full term. He is constitutionally eligible to serve up to two more years, thus he is eligible to serve two more as VP. I think that he could actually serve two years at the end of her first term after the VP mysteriously met his demise, then serve two years at the end of her second term when that VP mysteriously met his demise.
Sure he could. He could also divorce her, move to another state, have a sex change operation, become an ordained Epicsopalian priest, and get named Archbishop of Canterbury, too. But I'm not losing any sleep over the possibiliyt that might happen, any more that I am over the chance of Bill Clinton ever being vice-president.
How so? If a Clinton/Clinton ticket were elected (shudder), and Hillary took the oath on Jan. 20 and then died or resigned on the 21st, Bill could serve the full four years minus a day.
The 22nd Amendment governs who may be elected president, not who may serve. Full stop. Could the authors of the 22nd have foreseen that an ex-president might serve in the Cabinet, or in Congress, or even as VP? I think they could have foreseen that, and that we must conclude that their choice of words was considered and deliberate.
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush cannot again be elected president. I don't know of any constitutional provision that bars them from holding government office. for any length of time.
