The 12th ammendment requires the vp to meet the same reqs as the p to serve in office. The 12th also dictates that a president can only be _elected_ to two terms, but does not hold opinion as to how many terms a pres can serve.
Someone who is not elegible to be elected president (due to age, for example, or foriegn birth) can still hold a number of the offices that normally would be in the line of succession. (Take Madeline Albright, for example. She was not in the line of succession) It would be an interesting quandry for the Supreme Court (would their stated strict interpretation hold sway, or would their Republican partisan roots take over?).
