While the United States Constitution specifies that a person cannot be elected President more than twice, it did not specify if someone who has already been elected President twice would still be eligible to run for Vice President.
A. that a person cannot be elected President more than twice, it did not specify if someone who has already been elected President twice
B. that a person cannot be elected President more than two times, it does not specify if a former President who was elected twice
C. that a person cannot be elected President more than twice, it does not specify whether someone who has already been elected President twice
D. a person not to be elected President more than two times, it does not specify whether a twice-elected President
E. a person not to be elected President more than twice, it does not specify if someone who has already been elected President twice
A. that a person cannot be elected President more than twice, it did not specify if someone who has already been elected President twice
B. that a person cannot be elected President more than two times, it does not specify if a former President who was elected twice
C. that a person cannot be elected President more than twice, it does not specify whether someone who has already been elected President twice
D. a person not to be elected President more than two times, it does not specify whether a twice-elected President
E. a person not to be elected President more than twice, it does not specify if someone who has already been elected President twice
A. that a person cannot be elected President more than twice, it did not specify if someone who has already been elected President twice ---- if is wrong; this is not a conditional situation. \ shift of tense to past tense is also wrong
B. that a person cannot be elected President more than two times, it does not specify if a former President who was elected twice------ No conditionals here.
C. that a person cannot be elected President more than twice, it does not specify whether someone who has already been elected President twice -- correct choice
D. a person not to be elected President more than two times, it does not specify whether a twice-elected President -- specifying a person may give the wrong meaning that the constitution is trying to specify a specific person. We do need the connector ‘that’ essentially in a reported speech as this.
E. a person not to be elected President more than twice, it does not specify if someone who has already been elected President twice –same as in D plus the wrong use of the conditional.
I do not think there is a great split between the use of twice and two times. Both essentially mean the same; twice is more formal than two-times. Maybe GMAT will like twice rather two times.

The first main verb (specifies) is in present tense, but the second main verb (did not specify) is in past tense. We should not change the tense unless the meaning of the sentence dictates such a change; in this case, there is no reason to change to past tense, so the correct sentence should maintain the original, non-underlined tense: present. The original sentence also uses the word if to introduce the clause someone who has already… Vice President. If is used to introduce “if-then” type statements, but this statement does not have a “then” counterpart. Rather, this statement is discussing whether one of two things would be true: either someone is still eligible or someone is not still eligible. The correct idiom to introduce this clause is whether.
(C) CORRECT. This choice corrects the original tense error by changing did not specify to does not specify. The choice also corrects the original idiom error by substituting the word whether for the word if.
