Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will stand behind lecterns for the first debate on Monday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the Commission on Presidential Debates confirms.
The commission told Breitbart News on Thursday that the first debate will require both candidates to stand. The second, to be held Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis, will be in a town hall format, meaning that candidates may stand when it is their turn to speak, and sit when they are done. (In 2012, the second debate, also in town hall format, featured some infamous exchanges where both Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama were standing and arguing with each other).
According to the commission, it is not yet clear whether the candidates will be standing or sitting for the third debate, which will take place Oct. 19 at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. In past year, candidates have been seated for the third debate.
Clinton’s recent health problems have led to increased speculation about whether she will be able to stand for the full 90 minutes of the first debate.

Will there be a mid-debate nap for hillary?
Someone bring a strobe light
She may take a 20 minute bathroom break.
Seems unnecessary.
Might be a challenge for bobble-head
Then Trump should be given that time to talk about whatever he wants too, lol
I hope it doesn't burst during the debate. :-)
If she starts wobbling, will an oxygen mask automatically drop down, like on airplanes?
It has been a while since she was at any venue where she had to stand that long.
The primary debates had about 3 break periods. Will the presidential debates not have any break periods?
ugh....you made that up?
That one pic....was new to me. The guy at her right elbow...propping her up.
She should be allowed a bollard.
Trump should have a stairmaster.
Moderator should have to stand too... in boiling oil.
Expect democrats to find a loophole or 4 for this, or a request for an “exception to the rule”.
He is likely helping her step up on a small platform.
Out Hofstra Today producers got exclusive interviews with Eugene Robinson and Stephen Hayes before their event "What Issues Will Decide the 2016 Presidential Election?"
Trump needs to have his people in Hofstra. Why is Steven Hayes, the BIGGEST Trump hater, already in Hofstra. Trump should have people there NOW.
Eugene Harold Robinson (born March 12, 1954) is an American newspaper columnist and the former assistant managing editor of The Washington Post. His columns are syndicated by The Washington Post Writers Group, and he is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 2009.
Robinson also serves, opposite Nicolle Wallace, as NBC News and MSNBC’s chief political analyst during political coverage.
Steven Hayes is the Biggest Trump critic, why is Steven Hayes representing Trump?
Hayes was very critical when Trump hired Bannon
When Trump hired BannonRival conservative news organizations viewed Breitbart as something of an outlier, which was evident in the title of an article the Weekly Standard writer Stephen F. Hayes wrote on Wednesday: “Trump Has Decided to Live in Breitbart’s Alternative Reality.”
Maybe, maybe not.
