Not Ranked
There's a bit of a split amongst constitutitonal authorities...
A person must be qualified to be elected President (35 years of age, natural born citizen, etc.) in order to hold office as Vice President.
Some say the 22nd Amendment disqualifies a termed out former President, since he or she could not be elected President pursuant to its terms. That is the more widely held view. The minority opinion is that it does not bar a termed out former President from becoming the Vice President.
Strict Constitutional constructionalists, which now hold the majority of the Supreme Court, maintain the former opinion.
I hate Holiday Inns.
