It does not count as a 'strike' if a vice-president is elevated to president. Ford and Johnson have been the only cases since the passing of the 22nd Amendment.
Johnson was allowed to run for a 'third term' since he served less than two years of Kennedy's term but declined the nomination because of the growing pressures of Vietnam. It is not possible that Clinton could run as vice-president.

Hey bro, 420 salute LOL but I am afraid I se it differently, he can be vice president, just not president, so all that means, is if something hapopened to the pres while bill was VP, the next in line of succession becomes pres, so the speaker of the house would be come the next pres in that situation...
and of course once the term was served by this pres, then the vice pres could not run as is tradition, rather we would have no incumbant, and two new candidates is all.
