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.

This is a good point Lenny. Its too bad this applies to the Vice President as well as i think the country would benifit greatly by having Clinton as the VP.
