Under the 22nd Amendment, if a Vice-President succeeds to the Presidency through death, resignation etc, and serves more than two years of his predecessor's term then he may be elected only once in his own right, for a total of between six and eight years, depending how much unexpired term was served. If, OTOH, he serves less than two years, he may be elected twice like any other President. Thus if President Bush had died on Jan 21, 2007, President Cheney could in theory go on to two elected terms thereafter, and serve a total of ten years (less one day).

I did some research and it turns out that they can only serve 2 years in office after their 8 years in office as a vice president. Totaling the years that they can serve at 10. So there would be no point to try to run for the presidency after 8 years in the vice presidency. This is a newer law that is not known by most including me until today.
