Someone who has been President can run for Vice President if he/she has not served two terms as President. Because the President is limited to two terms, and the Vice President must be eligible to become President, someone who has reached that term limit cannot become Vice President.

∙ 11y agoThere is some question about the applicable statutes. However, the 12th amendment states that no one may be Vice President who is otherwise ineligible to be President. And the 22nd Amendment places term limits on Presidents: two elected terms and up to two years of another President's term.
If a former president has reached the limit then he cannot be VP because he would not be able to assume the office of president without violating the 22nd amendment. If, however, the President had not served the maximum period, he would be eligible to run for either President or Vice President.
*Prior to the 22nd Amendment, Theodore Roosevelt sought a 3rd term in 1912, and Franklin D. Roosevelt served 3 terms and part of a 4th term.

Since he is disqualified from being president, he/she should not be in line to become president in case of the death or resignation of the president at that time.
