I don't see it as a problem. I think Kerry would have his own ideas about running the state.

He can run with him and serve as VP, he'll simply have to abdicate to the Speaker in the event of presidential succession as he is not eligble to serve as president anymore.

Or Bush for that matter?
Not relevant to the OP, at least as I understand it. CAN Clinton be VP? Sure. It's not prohibited Constitutionally, therefore it is permissible. Will it? No, but not because of legal issues, but because it is just too damn weird. Kerry wouldn't want to have his VP casting a longer shadow than he, and most people (I believe) would understand that it would give the appearance of that.
People have been saying that Cheney is running the show often enough, so imagine the consequences of Clinton being VP.

ok so you're sayng he's not elgible?
but then you would have to admit that he's not elgible to run as a VP either. because under the 12th amendment it reads as , "one who is not elgible to be president, cannot be VP". so there's a contradiction in your beliefs.
however, i'm saying he's elgible as a President , thus he'd be elgible for VP as well.
22nd amendment says "one who has served 2 terms of presidency cannot be elected as a president again". keyword here is ELECTED. Clinton wouldn't necessarily be president through an electoral college, but if Kerry were to die, resign, or be impeached, then Clinton would be president by default, and not by election (elctoral college), therefore he's elgible to become President in the circumstances i described. and this would also loop around the 12th amendment, the fact that we already established him being elgible to become President doesnt prevent him from becoming VP.
anybody thinks this to be wrong?
hmmmmm you may be right about that....Originally posted by: Bacardi151
