However, I don't believe there is anything preventing a former president from serving in the House of Representatives. If President Obama was elected to the House of Representatives and became Speaker of the House he could conceivably assume the presidency if both the president and vice president were incapacitated. Pretty long shot but stranger things have happened. I'm curious about that. It's my understanding that both Kissinger and Albright, as naturalized citizens, would not have been eligible to assume the office under the line of succession, even though both were technically fourth in line as secretaries of state.
No the 12th makes them ineligible so everyone else moved up one slot
ETA nevermind the 12th is VP only
