Amendment 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.
Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.
The United States Congress proposed the amendment on March 21, 1947. It was ratified by the requisite number of states on February 27, 1951.

During the last elections they talked about how Kerry might ask Bill Clinton to be his VP since there was/is nothing from keeping that from happening, he could have been the VP and if the POTUS dies or was removed from office Clinton COULD have been president for a 3rd time since he was not ELECTED to be the POTUS.
