So it doesn't bother you that he might exercise the powers of the Presidency through a proxy?

We are a representative democracy.

Everyone exercises through proxy.

QED.

But not all of us have spouses who all of the conspiracy theorists assume (1) can be elected president and (2) would do so for the sole purpose of letting their spouse be president again. (Two assumptions underlying the whole Hillary/Bill Pres/VP theory we've been arguing over.) My point was, if we're gonna concede those two points, why worry about whether Clinton can legally/Constitutionally assume the office of President. If those first two assumptions prove true, he can simply act as President through her, and forget about the title.

The rest of the country doesn't have THAT kind of proxy available.
