Clinton is eligible to serve two more years of an abbreviated term

No, he's not.

Article XXII.

Section 1.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

If bubba was named speaker of the house, and the next day the pres and veep died, bubba would become president by succession: the bold quote says 'be elected' but does not cover 'succeed'

[tip of the sword]

But Clinton would not be elected Pres. in 2008, he could be elected Vice President with Hillary in the top slot!
