"I just had a horrible thought. What if Hillary gets nominated on the Dems ticket for President and she picks her hubby as her running mate? Is that even possible?"

I've heard both interpretations of the 22nd Amendment. I'm not sure.

Whether or not he can technically serve as VP, there's nothing stopping her from declaring him to be a "co-President", naming him Secretary of State, or doing anything else that she chooses.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans who don't like Hillary, but do like Billy Jeff, and might fall for this ruse.

Uh mm, no. - There is a law against having a president's relative in his cabinet.

It was passed shortly after the last president to have his brother in his cabinet had died.

And that was Misters John and Robert Kennedy.

I heard she's going for President and he's going for United Nations head. My nightmare is a little different from yours. I pray we awaken to find it was only a nightmare.
