So .. you're trying to make me believe that if Bill was "elected" VP - and something happened to Hillary, Bill could take over as President ..??

If you believe that .. I think you have rocks for brains.

And .. even if you choose to use the word "serve" as the key, it still doesn't work - BECAUSE BILL HAS ALREADY BEEN ELECTED TWICE AND THAT MAKES HIM INELIGIBLE TO "SERVE".

IS ANYBODY GETTING THIS YET ..?? Clinton is not eligible to SERVE or be ELECTED !!

Where does it say that?

I haven't found any place where it explicitly says that a person twice elected President is ineligible to SERVE as President.

If you can find it, I'll happily admit I'm wrong. As far as I can tell so far, IT'S NOT THERE. Not in explicit words.

What IS there is the 22nd Amendment, which says that a person already twice elected is ineligibel TO BE ELECTED to the Office of President.

So if the meaning you claim is there, IS there, then it is there (as far as I see) by INTENT, and NOT LITERALLY SPELLED OUT.

Those claiming they know what the Constitution says ought to read it!

Incidentally, I don't like the analysis any more than you do. But at least I'm brave enough to engage what is actually written, rather than fantasize that words that I wish were there, are there.
