Best Answer

Yes, provided he has served only one term. Under the 12th Amendment "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United states." Thus a President who has been elected twice (and so under the 22nd Amendment become ineligible to any further terms) would also be disqualified from election as Vice-President. In 1980, Ronald Reagan offered the Vice-Presidency to ex-President Gerald Ford (who declined it). This would have been perfectly legal as Ford had not served two terms. However, a similar offer to ex-President Nixon (who had done so) would have been unconstitutional.
