To: Political Junkie Too
That's true, but the 22nd Amendment isn't exactly a model of clarity. It says that no person shall be elected to the office of President more that twice, not that no person shall serve as President for more than two terms.

There is a straight-faced argument, I think, that a former two-term President could run as a Vice-President, and that would be OK under the 12th Amendment.

No it wouldn’t beause the VP has to meet the exact standards as the prez. Ineligible to run for prez, ineligible to run for vp.
