Obama: I Could Win If I Ran Again "I actually think I'm a pretty good president. I think if I ran IPresident Barack Obama joked on Tuesday that he would win a third presidential term were he allowed to run.
Speaking about African rulers who stay in power for long periods of time, Obama joked about the limits on his own power.
"I actually think I'm a pretty good president. I think if I ran I could win," Obama said during remarks at an assembly of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. "But I can't."

(25,272 posts)Could he pick Obama for his VP? Would Obama be eligible?
MineralMan
(146,333 posts)Due to his two consecutive terms, he no longer qualifies, and the VP must meet the same qualification as the President.

(13,598 posts)"Under the Twenty-second Amendment, the President of the United States may not be elected to more than two terms. However, there is no similar such limitation as to how many times one can be elected Vice President. Scholars disagree whether a former President barred from election to the Presidency is also ineligible to be elected Vice President, as suggested by the Twelfth Amendment.[22][23] The issue has never been tested in practice."

(82,383 posts)Since VP Obama would be ineligible.
I figure the VP may as well be eligible.
