Yes. The Constitution has no limitation to serving as Vice President... only President. That limitation is two elected terms or 10 years. As a recent example, Vice President Bush served for two full terms under Reagan before running and winning the Presidency. He also ran for a second term against Clinton but lost. VP Gore served two terms and ran after that for Presidency and won (but still lost)... but thats another story.
The real question you should be asking,however, is whether a President who has served two terms or 10 years can then serve as Vice President. The Answer to that is NO although that has never been tested. The 12th Amendment states "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

Can the vice president after serving 8 yrs with the president run with a new presidential candidate ie hillarybiden ticket?
yes, that would be legal The office of the U.S. Vice President has no bearing on the term limits of the President that were established in 1952 with the ratification of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If someone were to serve five full terms as Vice President, for example, he/she would still be eligible to be elected President twice. The only way that the term limits affect the Vice Presidency is that the Constitution requires that in order to run for Vice President, one must be eligible to be President. Therefore, someone who has been elected President twice could not run for Vice President. (There are some who believe that the presidential eligibility requirements for the vice presidency are only the age, citizenship and residency requirements and that having been elected President twice does not prohibit someone from running for Vice President. The opportunity to settle the debate in the courts has never come up.)
Can a president run for vice president?
