Could Bill Clinton be Vice President?
I still don't know how I feel about the prospect of Hillary Clinton running for president. On the one hand, it would be great to finally have a woman in the White House, and she is certainly popular enough to have a good chance of it (but popular enough to win?). But on the other, I am not sure what I think about her. She doesn't exactly seem like the kind of person you would like to hang out with (unlike her sexy for an old man husband). I can't quite picture her running the country.
But today I stumbled upon a very interesting article. The author raises the question of whether Mr. Clinton could run as her vice president. An odd pairing of course, since he would certainly steal some of her attention, and having a couple as the leaders of our country feels a little too much like a monarchy (princess Chelsea?). But, could a former president run for vice president. Does the 22nd amendment that bars a president from serving more than two terms bar him from serving as a vice president. I think I lean on the side of those who say that it would be permissible, under the law. A very cleaver presidential loop-hole indeed.
Feel free to read the article and form your own opinion:
