I don't even know why they bother bringing that up on CNN. It can't happen.

The constitution says a president can serve a maximum of 2 terms and 10 years in office.
So for instance if a president was assasinated early in their term and the VP served as president for 3 years, they'd only be able to run for re-election 1 time because another term would put them over the 10 year limit.

Clinton has already served 8 years so he can't fulfill the responsibilities of VP if something were to happen to Kerry early in his term.
