You can argue that it doesn't say anything about vice president, but then he can't be part of the line of succession so what is the point. Though I wonder if maybe saying he can't be vice president on those grounds means speaker of the house also must be natural born... The constitution is short and so you can come up with weird situations like this all over.
Theoretically they could be VP. I imagine if their President left office for some reason, either they'd just be acting President, not actual President, or the line of succession would skip them.
I think it's like the crown. It goes to the Speaker of the House if the VP can't hold it.
