The 22nd Amendment though is what "gives him the chance" at being a VP, but since it is not clear either which way it would have to be solved legally.

The 12th Amendment is pretty clear cut. No ambiguity about it. Besides the reason why you have a VP is in case the President dies or is otherwise unable to continue on as President and thus the VP then becomes President. Since Bill Clinton can't be President what would be the point of making him VP?
