The Constitution says "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" but I suspect they're thinking running Vance in 28 with some nobody veep, then the veep resigns, Vance appoints Trump veep (assuming the Senate confirms him) and then Vance resigns, thus allowing by then 82 year old Trump to take office since he wasn't "elected" to the position of veep.
