Can a US two term president be elected as Vice-President become president if the president dies?

No person who is not elligible to be President can become Vice-President. No person may be elected more than twice to the office of President. There is disagreement as to whether this prevents a former President from serving as a Vice-President, since he would not have been elected to the office of President should he succeed to that office due to the death or disability of the President. But he clearly would be prevented from running for election after filling out the remainder of the term of a President who died in office.


Who was the first US president to be elected to a second term?

George Washington was the first president to be elected twice. In fact, Washington had to decline to serve a third term and thereby established the precedent against remaining in office for more than two terms.
