How is he barred? I’d really like to know the section which bars this. My understanding is there is a preclusion from both Pres and VP candidates being from the same state and a limitation of Presidential terms to 10 years, but I’ve never heard anything about not being able to be a VP.

The VP must be qualified to serve as President. Since Bill is term-limited out, he isn't qualified to serve as President, and therefore, cannot be chosen as the VP mate.
