If he gets elected and is in great health leading up to a 2nd term then we need him to serve a 2nd term. If he's not feeling healthy enough to serve a 2nd term I don't believe he would.

I'm sure that he would/will select a fantastic V.P. candidate if anything happened to him that would make a great President.

His job and obligation would be to choose a strong V.P. in case anything happens to him (as all Presidents must do). He won't be choosing Sarah Palin that's for sure.
