He won’t remove the tags from mattresses and he won’t break the tax seals on liquor bottles.

"And people seriously consider voting for his wife for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."
Just another sign that we are well on our way to turning into a Banana Republic and 3rd world country that about half the population would find her an acceptable candidate IMO. We don't have a monarchy YET, but we may be close to getting one like other 3rd world countries where the elite wives and children inherit "the throne."

If she gets elected she won’t get access to a lot of old deep dark buried secrets.
She will effectively be neutered.

She’s right, He’ll probably be too busy mentoring young interns.

There are no constitutional requirements however it would soon become a political issue....President nominates disbarred husband to the SCOTUS....
Please. Impeachment didn't stop the Clintons and the Democrats. Nothing will. The Democrats don't care, period. And they will be the ones who have complete power to confirm. The GOP are too spineless to filibuster a liberal SCOTUS nominee, especially one who happens to be a popular former president. Hell, the GOP couldn't all even stick together on voting guilty on the articles of impeachment.

I would hope appointment hearings would go bad for him. It might make the term getting Borked tame next to getting Lewenskied.

Appointment hearings go bad for Bill Clinton?
Are you kidding me?
Senators from both sides of the aisle would be lining up to kiss his ass and get a photo with him.
If Hillary is elected, mark my words, Bill Clinton will sit on the Supreme Court. The Democrats may even impeach John Roberts just so Bill could be Chief Justice.

His license has already been restored or can be anytime he wants, he already has done whatever punishment they gave him.
Also it isn't in the Constitution that you have to be a lawyer to be on the court.
Now this guy is way too lazy and undisciplined to be even want to be on the court, Would interfere with his traveling and whatnot around the world and this guy will not be a second banana to anyone on the court.

The National Security Council has members assigned by Law - that is by the National Security Act of 1947.
The President, Vice President, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Defense are statutory members.
Traditionally, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA Director, and others served as non-statutory members and were advisors.
Guess what?
When Billy Jeff was President, he circumvented this law by signing an Executive Order that allowed basically anyone to serve as non-statutory members of teh NSC.
These included basically anyone in the White House - so Hillary could get Janet Reno (and also herself if she wanted) in on the act.
On January 21, 1993, in PDD 2, President Clinton approved an NSC decision-making system that enlarged the membership of the National Security Council and included a much greater emphasis on economic issues in the formulation of national security policy. The President, Vice President, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Defense were members of the NSC as prescribed by statute. The Director of Central Intelligence and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as statutory advisers to the NSC, attended its meetings. The new membership of the National Security Council included the following officials: the Secretary of the Treasury, the U.S. Representative to the United Nations, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Chief of Staff to the President. Although not a member, the Attorney General would be invited to attend meetings pertaining to his jurisdiction. The heads of other Executive departments and agencies, the special statutory advisers to the NSC, and other senior officials would be invited to attend meetings of the NSC where appropriate.
The last sentence gave his leeway to deem anyone he wanted to sit on the Council.
