49. Wrong, the rule doesn't say that; Clinton or W can never run again

Poppy or Carter can, however. In fact, you can't even run again after serving over six years. So if Obama resigns next year, he can't ever run again. If he resigns right now, however...maybe he could run again, not sure...

Then Hillary should get 2 SCOTUS picks and they should be Bill and Barack! VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #55

No, because he would not be eligible to serve as President, SheilaT Jan 2015 #36

Nope. The VP candidate must be "constitutionally eligible" to become President. Nye Bevan Jan 2015 #38
