Can't a president only serve two terms?

All I see is Bill Clinton campaigning for president. Doesn't the Constitution prevent someone from serving more than two terms? How can Bill Clinton be running against Barack Obama in 2008?

Update:

x200- that's my point. How come I see Bill, Bill, Bill- like he's running?

    Hillary is running. I wish I could have been in a coma for the Bush years like it appears you were.

    Edit to add:

    Because so many right-wingers hate Bill due to a certain incident, and because he was 10 times the president of either Bush. Also, how many wives of former presidents do you know that have been in serious contention for the presidency in their own right.

    It's not that I'm offended, but, this isn't really funny.

    Spouses always campaign for a candidate.

    And Obama is doing better than Clinton anyways.

    There are lots of funny things to say about Bill campaigning for Hillary, but I'm afraid this just doesn't cut it.

    Yes a President can only serve two terms. You are seeing things that aren't there. Hillary is running and her husband is supporting her like the other candidates spouses do. It's not because he's a former president and she's a former first lady they should have a disadvantage. Michelle Obama campaigns for her man so does Bill Clinton. Same thing

    The fact that he was impeached and disbarred keeps him from serving in any government office. Had he not been, he would be legally eligible to run for president once again after he sat out one term. Thank God he was impeached.

    He's running for "President by Proxy".

    There's no term limits for that. It's only limited by the number of family members you have that qualify for the presidency.
