    So right at the end of the 12th amendment there’s this line.

    But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

    So as of his presidential win this election he’s ineligible to be vice president.

        With as much as this Supreme Court is riding Trump’s dick I wouldn’t put it past them to rule in his favor if this made it to them.

      The 22a says he can’t be elected. But that doesn’t make him ineligible to serve. The wording presents a loophole that our highly partisan Supreme Court could drive a truck through.
