I thought it said no one can be "ELECTED" to the office of the President more than twice. Therefore....one can run for Vice President....and then IF the President-Elect refuses to serve after the general election....then the Vice President-Elect would become the next President. Remember.....it says no one shall be ELECTED to the OFFICE...of President....PRESIDENT (keywords...it doesn't say Vice...it says Pres)....more than twice. It doesn't say no one can SERVE as President more than twice.
So...conceivably...we could have a Kerry/Clinton ticket......and if Kerry were to be elected...and then state that he does NOT wish to serve as President the day after the election...then on January 20th...2005.....William J. Clinton will be sworn in for his THIRD term as President.
Of course.....if it said no one may SERVE as President more than twice.....then the scenario I just gave you could never happen. But it doesn't say SERVE...it says ELECTED. That's a Key word there folks.
