Having already served two full terms as president, disgraced former president Clinton would be prevented from taking the VP spot on the ticket.
Why do people keep dreaming up wholly impossible scenarios for Bill to become president again? Push for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment or shut the hell up.
To: Lucky2
Has anyone asked Arlene Spector if there is anything in Scottish Law that will allow Bill to become president again?

I don't think you are allowed to run for VP unless you are legally (Constitutionally) able to become President. That is why Cheney had to re-register in Wyoming -- because of the rule that President and VP had to be from different states, and Cheney had been living in Texas. Therefore, Bill could never be nominated as VP. IMHO, this whole premise is stupid.

Interesting for Hillary.
Then she would have those on the right and those on the left wishing that she would drop dead.
I wonder what it is like having a few hundred million people hoping for your demise?

I think the biggest obstacle to Slick running as VP is the constitutional requirement that a VP candidate must meet the constitutional requirements for being POTUS. Since the Constitution, as amended, limits a President to two terms, Slick is constitutionally barred from running as VP.
That's not to say that Slick and his cult wouldn't ignore what the constitution says and do it anyways......

How can an amendment to the Constitution be "unconstitutional"?
To: Lucky2
The point is moot since Hillary would drop kick him out of her personal/political life within days after her "inauguration". Why keep trouble around when you've reached the pinnacle? He would be heading back to East Timor to pick up the last vestiges of his "greatness" and a few STDs.

Technically, since her black pantsuit can stand up by itself, it would be difficult to prove the wearer's death. Because of Hillary's well-known stricture against subordinates looking her in the eyes, her demise might even go unnoticed. As long as she was propped up by the pantsuit, her staff would politely ignore the familiar, yet strangely stronger stench, not realizing actual decomposition had occurred until she dropped a limb or something like that.
Besides, everyone knows the deal she made with Satan includes some clause about immortality...Bill better come up with another plan.

I don't think you are allowed to run for VP unless you are legally (Constitutionally) able to become President. Bill Clinton cannot be VP. He is barred from doing so by the 12th Amendment--which states that whatever disqualifies one from the Presidency (in Bubba's case, having been elected to the office twice, according to the 22d Amendment) also disqualifies one for the VP slot. Moreover, a 1965 federal law forbids immediate family members from serving together in the same administration at Cabinet level or higher.

I think the biggest obstacle to Slick running as VP is the constitutional requirement that a VP candidate must meet the constitutional requirements for being POTUS. That's what I thought, too.
But when I tried to look up chapter and verse, I could not find it --- Can anyone cite this requirement?
The Constitution is here
Article II, section I, paragraph 5 says: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
But that says nothing about having to meet the qualifications for President.
Can anybody cite this requirement?
To: cactusSharp
There's a little good in everyone.
To: MK
Ahhh, thank you!
The last sentence of the 12th amendment reads:
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
I searched for "vice pres" rather than "vice-pres"
To: lsee
LOL
To: Lucky2
Enough to openly speculate about a scenario where Hillary Clinton's death would nullify the 22nd Amendment baring a third term for her husband. I presume she means "barring", not "baring".
Why would her death suddenly "nullify the 22nd Amendment"???
Talk about delusions of grandeur...

How can an amendment to the Constitution be "unconstitutional"? Remember, that thought originated in a Liberal's brain.
They are different from us. Don't try to understand their thought process. It's not normal.

LOL! That was my thought exactly! But, in DemocRAT-Speak, "unconstutional" means "Laws we, as socialists, find inconvenient."
