Doug,

It does say "elected". It doesn't say they can't "inherit" the office.

To "inherit" the office ("succeed" would actually be the proper term), one
would need to be Vice President first, no? And by Amendment 12, anyone not
eligible to be President is not eligible to be VP either.
of time?

Hmmm...I wonder if he could be elected to the US House, become Speaker, then
the President and VP are killed in office, whereby the Speaker assumes the
responsibililites of President. Let's just say that if Clinton were to
become Speaker of the House, the President and VP would never even be in the
same state...
