I am not sure about that. Doesn't it state somewhere that to be VP you must be eligible to be President, which BJ Billy Jeff Clinton is not.

Also, if we want to get super technical on Constitutional reading, the Office of President and its duties and powers is repeatedly referred to as "he". Thus Hillary, nor any women is constitutionally eligible for the office.

There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent The Rapist from being elected VP, and becoming President after the accidental suicide of his wife. The Constitution does not say he is ineligible to BE President—only that he may not be ELECTED President again.

This is not disturbing, really. The 22nd Amendment is worded so as to allow a VP who succeeds to the Presidency to run for President TWICE. E.g., LBJ could have run again in 1968.

So The Rapist could have, ultimately, no more total time as President as any VP who might succeed to the Presidency. He would simply have his two terms, then a partial term, rather than the partial term first.
