Bill Clinton as Veep

Bill Clinton as Veep? It simply can't happen! Well, the constitution is so vague that some feel it could happen. But, politically, it is extremely unlikely to happen.

On the face of it, a President can only serve two terms or ten years. If Mr. Clinton became Veep, he might assume the Presidency....and then, who knows what the courts, and Republicans would do!

The constitution is a mystery because the second office was such an after thought. Is the President prohibited from being elected tomore then two terms? Or simply prohibited from serving more then two terms or ten years? If Veep Clinton assumed the Presidency could he actually serve longer then two terms or ten years?

On that point alone, the likelihood of Mr. Clinton actually being allowed to assume the vice presidency is pretty slim. It would be a political stunt that would never past the sniff test.

And politically, can you imagine Hillary's look as the Obama/Bill Clinton ticket usurps her entire last twp years? Bill does it to her, again! Does not seem likely. Nor does a Clinton/Clinton ticket, although, if they had the chance, don't you believe the Clinton's would do that in a heart beat!
