The 22nd amendment restricts the president to 2 terms, doesn't mention the VP. Thanks, now I have somethng else to keep me up at night.Is it true there's no restriction on the number of terms a person can serve as Vice President?
There are no official term limits for the office. Article II of the Constitution, which originally gave the terms and conditions that govern the executive branch, did not make any mention of term limits.
So in theory, an individual could hold the office as long as he or she wishes. But, in practice, no one has served more than two terms.
The VP has to be able to serve as president without going over the term limit. But the number of times a person can be VP? I would guess that they can as long as they can serve as president at some time during their VP term.
