yes, that would be legal

The office of the U.S. Vice President has no bearing on the term limits of the President that were established in 1952 with the ratification of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If someone were to serve five full terms as Vice President, for example, he/she would still be eligible to be elected President twice. The only way that the term limits affect the Vice Presidency is that the Constitution requires that in order to run for Vice President, one must be eligible to be President. Therefore, someone who has been elected President twice could not run for Vice President.

(There are some who believe that the presidential eligibility requirements for the vice presidency are only the age, citizenship and residency requirements and that having been elected President twice does not prohibit someone from running for Vice President. The opportunity to settle the debate in the courts has never come up.)

When the post of president and vice president both are vacant who officiates as the president?

If the vacancies are due to the death, resignation or removal from office of both the President and Vice President, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, if qualified, resigns from the House, becomes President, and appoints a new vice president, subject to congressional approval. If the vacancies are because the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential elections have not yet been determined by Inauguration Day, the Speaker of the House becomes Acting President until the election winners are determined. If the House Speaker is serving as Acting President when the winner of the vice presidential election has been determined but the winner of the presidential election still has not yet been determined, the Vice President takes over as Acting President until the presidential election winner is determined.


Who will take over Barack Obama when election done?

I assume you are asking who the next president will be, because after serving his second term, President Obama is not allowed to run for president again. This means there will be an election in 2016 with a new Democratic candidate and a new Republican candidate. We do not know in early 2014 who those candidates will be, but as we get closer to 2016, we will be able to determine which candidates have the best chance of being nominated; and at that time, we can explore which candidate has the best chance to become our next president.
