Well, the 22cd amendment holds up, but it doesn't pertain.

A Clinton/Clinton ticket would be constitutional, I'm pretty sure... the amendment mentions "no person shall be elected to the office of the President," and places no limit on the amount of time they may serve.

The language is quite clear.

For reference: "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."

It would seem any President could run as a Vice President after he's served two terms... unless I'm missing some legal riff-raff. I remember this was brought up back when the idea of a Gore/Clinton ticket was considered in 2000.
