  1. The Constitution demands that any Vice-President must be eligible to serve as President.  Bill has served his two terms and is not eligible to be President again therefore he cannot be the Vice President.

      The last line of Amendment 12:

    The

    person having the greatest number of votes as Vice President, shall be

    the Vice President, if such number be a majority of the whole number

    of Electors appointed; and if no person have a majority, then, form

    the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice

    President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the

    whole number of Senators; a majority of the whole number shall be

    necessary to a choice.  But no person constitutionally ineligible to

    the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of

    the United States.

    First line of Amendment 22:

    22nd Amendment

    Sect. 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.


  2. That is a great great question........ I think she'd do that. This is all probably just some scheme to do just that...... *looks over her shoulder*...but sssshhhh lets not talk about that.... i saw Conspiracy Theory... I know what happens...

  3. There is no appointed type thing , house speaker who is Nancy peloski is next in line, she would be VP, if some thing happen to the President.  Hillary would have to have Bill on her ticket in November as her VP, for him to VP.  The VP would move up to President, Nancy P as VP.  I certainly hope none of this comes to pass or we are going to be in deep trouble.  Clinton's in the white house again,  spells the end to the American way of life, and  forced socialism. Bill has been barred from so many things, I doubt she could do that anyway.

  4. Fortunately or Unfortunately (Depending on your poliical alignment) that is not possible as Bill has been the POTUS for 2 terms (which is the max for serving in that office) and any VP should be as eligible as a presidential candidate

  5. The party candidate has to get party approval for the vice presidential candidate.  Most unlikely it would be Bill Clinton with Hillary, but if so and they were elected, Bill would be next in line.

    That is true for whatever pres/vp you have.  The pres can only "appoint" a vp if the current vp is unable to perform, resigns, etc., and then has to be confirmed.

  6. I know Nixon served 2 terms as vice and was about to hit up 2 terms as pres....but that was vice first and then pres after.... idk...

  7. No
