Can A Former President Run For Vice President?

09-07-2004, 06:20 AM

i know a president can't run for more than 2 terms but is there anything stopping him from running and serving as Vice President?

Kerry should dump Edwards and bring Clinton in as his running mate if it's legal.

The official answer is 'no.'

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.

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.

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.

I think that is the part that confused them B, the conversation referred to here with Larry King, covered this issue, and that is what clinton said he felt was unconstitutional, not the vice pres position... but hey wtf do I know, stoners are stupid morons remember LOL

Now, the language of the amendment certainly does not expressly apply to a vice-presidential candidate. But other constitutional provisions guarantee that the Vice President becomes President upon the death, incapacity, impeachment, or resignation of the President. Thus, if a two-term President like Bill Clinton became Vice President, that would raise the specter of a possible third Clinton Presidential term -- a specter which would become a reality if any of these unfortunate events were to befall a President Kerry. Some might argue that, as a result, a Clinton Vice-Presidency (and that of any two-term President) would be unconstitutional

5000$ that bill clinton thinks him running for VP is unconstitutional

Fdr was the last president to serve and be elected to more then 2 terms.

You can't be elected to more then 2 terms as President. While it might be technically legal for a former 2 term prez to be elected and on a ticket as a VP, I don't think the courts would ever allow that to hold any water.

Especially in the case where succession is a question.

My husband told him he should be Kerry's VP when he met him at the book signing in Seattle. He told Clinton that the election would be a landslide because people miss Clinton. Clinton thanked him, but said he couldn't and wouldn't be VP.

I wanted hubby to tell Clinton that he needed to come back to active politics, if only to scream from the rooftops that it's not okay to impeach a guy for getting a hummer in the Oval but we don't care if the President is a big fat supid liar. Lying = good; blowjob = bad. Seems silly.

Bush can no more fire Rove than Charlie McCarthy could fire Edgar Bergen.

Somewhere I heard that to be eligible for Vice President, you have to meet the same requirements as for President. If a former President only served 1 term, then it would be ok, but if they served 2, they are not eligible to be President, therefore they cant be Vice President.

Maybe I heard wrong

This topic keeps coming up in threads. Clinton can't be VP and wouldn't. It's Hillary's turn. That is his only ticket back into the white house. He'd be happy with that.

Clinton has his own agenda. Kerry is just one of the sheep.

Looks like Clinton took over the Kerry campaign anyway. If Kerry does manage to pull it off. Who do ya think would pull the strings? The Ketchup lady? Oh, that was a bad phun if anyone caught it.

Yes, but that is exactly what the debate is about.

It says nothing about being elected to vice-president. So that would seem perfectly legal.

And if the president died, Clinton would not be "elected" as president, he would simply succeed him. There is nothing that states that is unconstitutional.

I say let him run with Hil in 08.
