Under the 22nd Amendment, if a Vice-President succeeds to the Presidency through death, resignation etc, and serves more than two years of his predecessor's term then he may be elected only once in his own right, for a total of between six and eight years, depending how much unexpired term was served. If, OTOH, he serves less than two years, he may be elected twice like any other President. Thus if President Bush had died on Jan 21, 2007, President Cheney could in theory go on to two elected terms thereafter, and serve a total of ten years (less one day).
