Can a two term President later become Vice President?

After reviewing the VP criteria and the Constitution (below) on Presidential term limits it appears that John Kerry could select Bill Clinton as VP and if something happened to Kerry, Clinton could serve out the term as President? Does anyone know if this could really occur legally?

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.

: Note that the Constitution bans anyone from being ''elected'' president more than twice; it does not prevent them being ''appointed'' president. I can't think of any examples of an ex-president subsequently serving as a VP, though. comedy ringtones ChrisO/ChrisO 00:17, 5 Mar 2004

::::But the amendment says "no person shall be elected president more than twice", not "no person may be president" or "no person may serve as president". so its not clear that this is constitutes eligibility to hold the office in respect to the 3 USC 19 restriction above.


:Other times their primary role seems to be meeting heads of state or attending state funerals in other countries, at times when the administration wishes to demonstrate concern or support without having to actually send the President himself to do so.

Springboard to Presidency

:Since 1960, only three presidential elections, the 1980 election, 1996 election, and 2004 election, did not feature an incumbent or former Vice President as a major candidate. The election of 1968, provided the option of two men who had served as Vice President, Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey.
with
:Of the 13 presidential elections from 1956 to 2004, 9 featured the incumbent President; the other 4 (than nearby U.S. presidential election, 1960/1960, whatever immediate U.S. presidential election, 1968/1968, biscuits boulders U.S. presidential election, 1988/1988, recommended using U.S. presidential election, 2000/2000) all featured the incumbent Vice President.
