"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States"

How is that unclear?
- OutOfHere 2y agoHere is the potential evil interpretation of a biased Supreme Court: The constitutional ineligibility granted by the 22nd Amendment applies only to becoming President by an election. It doesn't apply to becoming President by non-elected means, such as if the Vice President steps down. As such, the applicability of the constitutional eligibility as referred to in the 12th Amendment is subject to interpretation. I am not saying it's right, only that it is sufficient for a biased Supreme Court to exploit it.
