Is that really true? I thought no one could be VP who was not eligible to serve as president, as he would not be.

eligible to SERVE as president or eligible to be ELECTED president? there's a big difference.

Bill could have succeeded to the presidency from someone ele’s term if he served no more than two years. He could then be elected twice for his own terms.

For the reverse, he has served two terms. If he became VP with less than two years remaining, the case should be able to made that he could indeed serve that additional time. Now, would Hillary want him to be the VP when he had some incentive to desire getting to the top spot again?
