So he’s ineligible to run for president as he’s not a natural born citizen, but this made me wonder, are there any laws on who can be VP? What if they’re further down the line of succession, like Speaker of the House or president pro tem. of the Senate? What happens if, through the line of succession, someone who is ineligible to run still becomes president?

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

You can argue that it doesn't say anything about vice president, but then he can't be part of the line of succession so what is the point. Though I wonder if maybe saying he can't be vice president on those grounds means speaker of the house also must be natural born... The constitution is short and so you can come up with weird situations like this all over.

I think it's like the crown. It goes to the Speaker of the House if the VP can't hold it.

Theoretically they could be VP. I imagine if their President left office for some reason, either they'd just be acting President, not actual President, or the line of succession would skip them.
