Question on VP

[jman724]

I don't believe this violates the constitution, but i'm wondering if there is a federal law that prohibits it.  there has been recent speculation of Joe Biden being Obama's running mate.  I have long thought Biden should be secretary of state.  considering the fact that the vice presidency is a virtually powerless position unless the president places you on assignment, i started thinking...why not name the VP to a cabinet post?  Could Obama choose Biden for VP, and then appoint him as SoS? 

I haven't found anything in the Constitution that would prohibit it, and the only thing i could think of that might prevent that is perhaps having one person at multiple positions in the line of succession might be a problem.  anyone know if this could work?

The Constitution doesn't mention the Cabinet, so it'd be fine, though weird. Unless there's a law against dual office-holding I missed.
