Hillary said she deserves one more shot...she said Trump stole the election and she believes she can still win because she received more votes than Trump...
Wow! Life in the white house must be pretty damn nice if she can't give it up! Some are saying M Obama wants to run, she must like the White house too.
Can you imagine America electing the wife of the man that gave us less than 2% growth for his entire term in office? Can you imagine the divider and chief's wife getting elected? The Dems have no one...noooooo one! All they have is anti Trump rhetoric.

With Obama's two terms, he's not eligible.

It might be possible. I found this on it-
Maybe. The 25th Amendment says "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States," and the 22nd says you can only be elected twice (and if you succeed to the presidency and serve for more than two years, that counts as one of your terms) so the question would come down to the Supreme Court deciding whether "constitutionally ineligible to the office" includes not being "elected to the office more than twice."
A very strict reading would allow it, because the 22nd Amendment only says a person cannot be elected President more than twice, but does not say that a person cannot serve more than twice. However, prior to the 25th Amendment, the Constitution did not explicitly spell out that the Vice President becomes President in the event of something unfortunate occuring, only that the powers of the President devolve upon the Vice President. So if the Supreme Court takes the words exactly as written, then the answer to your question is yes. If they take the (I would say clear) intent of the Amendments, then the answer is no.
If anything happened the key word is elected. As Vice President he could possibly be considered as selected.
