As I remember it he can't, because the 12th ammendment states that a vice-president must be qualified to become president, and B. Clinton is no longer qualified.

The courts would not let it happen. Although Clinton could likely be nominated if the vice-president died in the last two years of the term.

I've changed my opinion on this issue. I haven't reread this thread, so if this has already been mentioned I'm sorry:
From Amendment 22
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.

As VP Clinton would not be elected to the office of President so I believe he would be elgible.
