Bush would have beat Clinton. I did hear a pundit suggest that Al would be
wise to pick Bill as his running mate. That would have been legal.
False. Having served two full terms as President, Clinton is no longer
constitutionally eligible to be President again (Amendment 22) and therefore
is ineligible to be Vice President either (Amendment 12).

If not, should a former 2-term President be allowed to run again if he
takes a 4 year break?
He/She already is. Look it up! Although most are too retired after 12 years.
False, again. *You* need to "look it up".
Amendment XXII
Section 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

once.
