Amendment 22-Presidential Term Limits

1. 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. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

That was the 22nd, which took effect in 1951. It was a reaction to Franklin Roosevelt serving into a fourth term.

Can a past president of the US be vice president?

The 22nd Amendment states that "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." With that said, it is possible, but would most likely not happen. Yes, but only if the former president "has time left." Presidents have term limits and if a former president has reached his/her limit then he/she cannot be VP because he/she would not be able to assume the office of president without violating the 22nd amendment.
