Is the President allowed 2.5 terms?
The Twenty-Second Amendment limits Presidential terms of office; the relevant portion reads as follows: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. So the answer is yes; a person may serve two and a half terms as President, provided they entered the office by completing the someone else's term. The interpretation of this amendment (and its interaction with the Twelfth Amendment, which sets qualifications for the Vice Presidency) is unclear in a situation where a twice-elected President later seeks election to the Vice Presidency; also, it is unclear if the Speaker of the House or other officer could succeed to the Presidency if they had twice been elected President. However, such situations seem unlikely to arise.

How can a president be in office for 12 years and not be Roosevelt?
The 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution limits the presidency to two terms, with a maximum of eight years in office, to prevent any president from serving for more than 12 years. Therefore, a president can only serve for 12 years if they are elected to two consecutive terms and then assume the presidency due to their predecessor's death or resignation.
Can a former president serve as vice president?
The original constitution had no requirements for the office of vice president. However, the 12th Amendment, ratified in 1804, said that, "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."So that would mean that a vice president would have to meet the requirements to be president laid out in Article II of the Constitution. Principally, the person would have to be born in the United States, be at least 35 years of age and have been a resident of this country for the preceding 14 years. So far, so good. Maybe a former president, like Bill Clinton, could serve as vice president.However, the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, states:22nd Amendment: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.So this sets up the conundrum. The 22nd Amendment says that Clinton can clearly not "be elected" to the presidency. And the 12th Amendment says that no one can become vice president if they are "ineligible to the office of the presidency."Clinton has been elected to the presidency twice. So he can no longer be "elected" to the presidency, according to the language of the 22nd Amendment. Does that mean he is "constitutionally ineligible" to serve as president, to use the language of the 12th Amendment? If so, he could not serve as vice president. But finding out would certainly make for an interesting Supreme Court case.
