Legally?
What if he is on the ticket and the ticket wins; and then Biden steps down?
I think the Dims should go for it.
He does need somebody younger as his VP pick. What's Wilford Brimley doing these days?

Looking up at the grassHe does need somebody younger as his VP pick. What's Wilford Brimley doing these days?
The 12th and 22nd Amendment prohibits it.
The 12th states that no person who is ineligible to run for the presidency can run for the vice presidency.
the 22nd Amendment makes Obama, Bush-43 and Bill Clinton ineligible to run for President and therefor ineligible to run for Vice President.
It's an odd combination of Amendments, that has only really applied to five people in our history, The three I mentioned above, Reagan and Eisenhower. It didn't apply to Jerry Ford since he had only served one partial term, and there was serious consideration to making him VP on Reagan's ticket.
No. The VP has to meet eligibility requirements for being President. Obama does not qualify because he is termed out.Legally?

He's not eligible to be elected President again. The Twenty-second Amendment is clear on that point.
But due to a subtlety in the use of words, he may still be eligible to serve another term as President, if he gets into that position by some other means than being directly elected. The way that the Twenty-second Amendment is worded does not clearly prohibit a former President, who has already served two terms, from holding any other position in the line of succession to the Presidency, or from taking office as President if those above him in that line are all taken off the table.
This is something that, at some point, the courts will have to settle.

As the source to which you've linked clearly states, the matter is unresolved.
The intent would seem to be as you say, but the wording suggests differently. It prohibits one from being elected president who has already served two terms, but does not explicitly prohibit any such person from becoming President through some other path than being elected directly to that office. If the situation ever comes up, this will need to be resolved through the courts.
Yes he can, but only if he has breast implants and starts wearing mini-skirts.Legally?
