    Yes, according to the 12th Amendment:

    But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

    It’s the same reason why Obama couldn’t be VP. He’s ineligible because he’s served two terms already. If you can’t be President, you can’t be Vice-President. And that makes sense, since the VP could become President at any time if something goes sideways.
