Here's what wiki has to say about it... The relationship between the 22nd and 12th amendments
Some have questioned the interpretation of the Twenty-second Amendment as it relates to the Twelfth Amendment<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution>, ratified in 1804 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1804>, which provides that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#_note-7> While it is clear that under the Twelfth Amendment the original constitutional qualifications of age, citizenship, and residency apply to both the president and vice president, it is unclear if a two-term president could later be electedor appointedvice president. Some argue that the Twenty-second Amendment and Twelfth Amendment bar any two-term president from later serving as vice president as well as from succeeding to the presidency from any point in the United States Presidential line of succession<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Presidential_line_of_succession>. Others contend that while a two-term president is ineligible to be elected or appointed to the office of Vice President, he or she could succeed from a lower position in the line of succession which he or she is not excluded from holding. Others contend that the Twelfth Amendment concerns qualification for * service*, while the Twenty-second Amendment concerns qualifications for * election*. Neither theory has ever been tested, as no former president has ever sought the vice presidency, and thus, the courts have never had an opportunity to decide the question.
