Not that it would happen, but there aren't any laws against former presidents holding cabinet positions IIRC. He just wouldn't be in the line of succession.

According to a strict reading of the 22nd Amendment, he would be.  It bars him from being elected president again, but not from serving as president again.  Whether the courts would read it that way though is unclear.
