The 12th Amendment covers election to the Vice Presidency... it's last sentence is pretty explicit as far as that goes. If you can't be elected President, then you can't be elected Vice President.
It doesn't say that.
It says: "...But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
No reference to standing for election at all.
ELIGIBLE not ELECTED.
