Who might be in consideration to become the new nominee — and who would be selected as the vice presidential running mate? Several likely combinations come to mind, starting in many minds with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but one particular, truly out-of-the-box combination stops the discussion in its tracks: Hillary Clinton as the nominee and Barack Obama as her running mate.
Now, before everyone rolls their eyes, let that sink in for a moment and do some fairly simple calculations about voters and swing states in your heads. No matter how you add it, subtract it or divide it, that math would spell trouble for the Trump campaign.
Could such a scenario come to pass? If Biden flames out and the Democrats don’t want to hand the election to Trump, they would need to do something incredibly creative in a flash.
So now the “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst” cliché comes into play. While most Democrats hope Biden can survive the scandals nipping at his viability, party leaders need to prepare for the worst — that he drops out.
Some Democrats have confessed to me that having Biden drop out, for whatever reason, might not be bad news since they aren’t convinced he can beat Trump in November, despite polls showing him in the lead at this point. And they believe (perhaps a bit wistfully, in some respects) that a Clinton-Obama ticket would be a nightmare for Trump.
The next obvious question is this: Does the Constitution allow Obama’s selection as a vice presidential running mate, given ambiguous language in the 12th and 22nd amendments?

The Hill is trying to make the argument that Obama can be a VP.
RUN, HILLARY, RUN!
Whenever libs ask a figurative question in a headline, watch out.
Does the Constitution allow Obama’s selection as a vice presidential running mate, given ambiguous language in the 12th and 22nd amendments?
The language of the amendments is not ambiguous to me. Perhaps it is ambiguous to the liberals, or a liberal judge.
anyone who thinks Barack Obama is going to be Hillary’s vice president is insane. If you’ve already been president of the United States you’re not going to serve his vice president to somebody you already beat. And Barack Obama is a pretty hotty guy I mean people are just getting dumber and dumber around here.
No because there is not going to be an election.
The stuff desperation is made of.
The two can’t even stand each other. Not to mention the Constitutional issues about Amendment 25 eligibility. And Big Mike certainly wouldn’t approve. No way this is a possibility.
“ given ambiguous language in the 12th and 22nd amendments?...”
Just like all that ambiguous language about natural born citizens and whatnot...
A person who was elected to and served two full terms can’t be VP. Period.
Prosecution’s exhibits A & B, your honor:
Frank Lautenberg (NJ) and
Mrs. Mel Carnahan (MO)
BOTH Dem, BTW
If a Clinton-Obama ticket wins, then there will be a back lash like they have never seen. The true cracker in me and millions of others will emerge with a vengeance.

“When we say ‘Death to America’, we really mean it!”
ridiculous question why does it keep getting posted.
*** NOT LEGALLY ***
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if they ran together— in Kenya’s election?
Bwa-hahahahaha.
It would have to be Michelle. Obama cannot be VP,because he’s been President.
That’s the most desperate shot they have, and probably the worst one too.
