I argue yes, because of the following but I wanted to get your opinions on what you think! I think this would guarantee a democrat win in november..
Professor of Constitutional Law and Vice Dean of the Columbia University Law School, Michael C. Dorf: Can a man who has been president for eight years be elected and serve as vice-president? The language of the amendment certainly does not expressly apply to a vice-presidential candidate. But other constitutional provisions guarantee that the vice-president becomes president upon the death, incapacity, impeachment, or resignation of the president. Thus, if a two-term president became vice-president that would raise the specter of a possible third presidential term, a specter that would become a reality if any of these unfortunate events were to befall the president under whom we had been serving as vice-president. Some might argue that, as a result, the vice-presidency of a two-term president would be unconstitutional. In support of this argument, one might also cite the 12th Amendment, which provides that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." President Clinton is certainly ineligible to be elected to another presidential term, based on the 22nd Amendment. Some might infer from the 12th Amendment that he is therefore also ineligible to be elected to a vice-presidential term. But these naysayers would be wrong. The Constitution permits Clinton to be elected vice-president, and if necessary to ascend for a third time to the presidency as careful attention to the language of the 12th and 22nd Amendments shows. The 12th Amendment would allow a Clinton vice-presidency. Its language only bars from the vice-presidency those persons who are "ineligible to the office" of President. Clinton is not ineligible to the office of president, however. He is only disqualified (by the 22nd Amendment) from being elected to that office. This is no mere semantic distinction. Article II of the Constitution carefully defines exactly who is "eligible to the Office of President": anyone who is a natural born citizen, at least 35 years old, and has been a U.S. resident for at least 14 years. Bill Clinton can serve as vice president, because the 22nd Amendment's prohibition on running for a third presidential term is not a condition of the office of the president. The 22nd Amendment states: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." The language is quite clear. It places no limits whatsoever on how many terms someone may serve as president, only how many terms he may be elected. The 22nd Amendment does not set conditions on what the 12th Amendment calls eligibility to the office of president. Anyone who is born here and has lived here for 14 years becomes eligible to be president on his or her 35th birthday and is then eligible forever.
