Given enough time, a ship will be named after Bill Clinton.

Nope. Impeachment took care of that.

Unpopular or controversial Presidents don't get ships named after them.

Johnson, Nixon didn't get one. Ford did, despite being a seat-warmer. Carter got an attack sub, because he was involved in the Rickover nuke projects.

GWB...maybe someday, but I wouldn't put big money on it. And not a CVN, simply because the name is going to be tied up for the next 50 years.

With all due respect to GHWB and Ford, I prefer ships named the Yorktown or the Enterprise....
