Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told a talk show her husband, Bill, had "looked into" running as her vice president.
Appearing on the David Letterman show on Thursday, the talk-show host asked if Bill Clinton could serve as her vice president should she be elected to the White House.
But the former first lady acknowledged that he could not. "Believe me," she joked, "he looked into that."
She also remarked that if the Constitution didn't forbid a president from a third term, "he might be running."
The interivew marked Clinton's seventh appearance on "The Late Show," which was celebrating its 14th anniversary on CBS.
She first appeared on February 14, 1994, when Letterman's mother, Dorothy, interviewed her briefly from the Winter Olympics in Norway.
On Thursday's show, Clinton recounted a summer in Alaska during which she donned boots and an apron to gut salmon with a spoon.
"Best preparation for being in Washington that you can possibly imagine," she joked.
Clinton talked shop, too, discussing the need for campaign finance reform, how to pull troops out of Iraq and the importance of caring for wounded veterans.
She said that while resistance to a female commander in chief has diminished, it hasn't disappeared.
"I think it's not so much that people don't think a woman can do the job, it's just that we've never done it before," she said.
"I'm not running because I'm a woman; I'm running because I think I'm the best-qualified and experienced person who can do the job. But I know that it's a big deal that I might be the first woman president."
Clinton also read a "Top Ten List" of tongue-in-cheek campaign promises, including No. 3: "We will finally have a president who doesn't mind pulling over and asking for directions."
That was one expensive lesson.
The three-term prohibition wasn’t added by the Founders.
A Clinton/Clinton administration would be anything but for the general welfare.
We do need some new blood, but the best way to accomplish that is through elections. Did you know that since 1952, there has been a Bush, Nixon, or Dole on every Republican ticket except 1964?
“gut salmon with a spoon?” Most would use a knife.
He'd have a hard time making that case. The 12th Amendment says that no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States. It also says that the President and Vice President cannot be from the same state. As husband and wife the Clintons would have a hard time establishing that.
That's funny, what about: Margaret Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto, Catherine the Great, Mary Queen of Scots, Cory Aquino, Angela Merkel, Etc.
Anyone here surprised that the first to break this ‘gentleman’s agreement’ was a Democrat?
No.

After Sen. TED KENNEDY pushed a post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress into cutting off all our funding for the then Free South Vietnamese People to fight for their own Freedom with during the Vietnam War,

But the first to try was a Republican. Grant made a strong try for the GOP nomination in 1880.
Hell, I got a call from my 8 year old granddaughter telling me: "I did it Grandma. I cut up its' belly, ripped out the guts and we ate it for supper!"
And most constitutional scholars (I hate that term) agree the courts would not over-rule the people's vote.
ah but you meant ‘Rich’, right?
It’s all about them. Who cares if it makes the country look bad as long as they both get power and attention. They are both just scum.
As in ‘Denise’
Bill could have succeeded to the presidency from someone ele’s term if he served no more than two years. He could then be elected twice for his own terms.
For the reverse, he has served two terms. If he became VP with less than two years remaining, the case should be able to made that he could indeed serve that additional time. Now, would Hillary want him to be the VP when he had some incentive to desire getting to the top spot again?
well I was thinking more of her pardoned hubby Marc, but she’ll do.
Fair enough. He could obviously carpetbag to another state. He would be constitutionally ineligible to be VP if there were more than two years left in the term. Clearly, he is ineligible to run again for a full term. He is constitutionally eligible to serve up to two more years, thus he is eligible to serve two more as VP. I think that he could actually serve two years at the end of her first term after the VP mysteriously met his demise, then serve two years at the end of her second term when that VP mysteriously met his demise.
