Can a former 2-term president be elected vice president here in the US?

Asked by tedd (14078points) April 30th, 2012

Just wondering. Presidents in the United States are limited to two terms. I believe this means elected terms, as in you could become president via the line of succession (President dies, Vice president dies, etc, etc).. and you could still be elected president twice running as president.

But what about the reverse. Can you run as the vice presidential candidate if you’ve already served two elected terms as president? Could former President Clinton and/or one of the Former Presidents Bush run as VP for Mitt Romney or Obama?
