22nd Amendment -- no person shall serve as President who has served two terms as President. No person shall be Vice-President who is ineligible to be President.

Incorrect, the 22nd Amendment says "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

12th Amendment: "No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States."

The 12th Amendment notes ineligibility to the office, but not to election to the office. The only eligibility requirements for serving in said office are found in Article II, Clause 5 of the Consitution, which are listed as being a natural born citizen, 35 or older, and 14 years a resident.

So he can be elected, but he can't serve?
