It says “shall be elected to the office of the President“. Fine. Does it say anything about the VP? No. It does not. So how about a Biden-Obama ticket? Sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Yes, some have argued that actually Michelle should be on it. But if you want to entertain oligarchic phantasies then you could see her win in 2024 and 2028, after Barack saves in 2020. Much like he did in 2008. Remember that? The Republicans did an awesome job making everybody forget what kind of a country “the economy is strong” / “mission accomplished” W had left for his incumbent.
