NY Times: A Worry if Hillary Clinton Wins: What to Do With Bill (Freeper input needed)
NY Times ^ | July 26, 2016 | Patrick Healy

Posted on 07/26/2016 5:31:21 PM PDT by Zakeet

If Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, Bill Clinton will not become a regular at cabinet meetings, his wife's advisers say. He will not be invited into the Situation Room. He will step away from his family's foundation work and may not even have an office in the West Wing, given the undesirable optics of a former president and husband looking over the shoulder of the first female commander in chief.

But the steps Clinton aides are planning to shape his new life do little to address a potentially thornier problem: Historically, when Mr. Clinton does not have a job to do, he gets into trouble.

It was during the government shutdown in 1995 that Mr. Clinton began his affair with Monica Lewinsky. It was in the early years after he left the White House that his friendships with wealthy playboys became tabloid fodder. Sidelined by Mrs. Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, Mr. Clinton went rogue and started lashing out at Barack Obama. More recently, his dinner with the businessman Mark Cuban and his tarmac encounter with Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch were reminders that when Mr. Clinton has time on his hands, he can create dangerous distractions for his wife.

"He loves getting involved in things - no one loves policy and politics more than Bill Clinton," said Mickey Kantor, a longtime friend and secretary of commerce under Mr. Clinton. "He loves, and needs, to have a purpose."

If I recall correctly, he gets in trouble even when he has a job.

I can’t understand why the question of whether or not Hillary Clinton running for President is prohibited under the two-term limit for individuals has been brought up.

Of course, on the face of it, it doesn’t, but as a practical matter, it most certainly does, and one can clearly see that.

It couldn’t have been expected decades ago that the spouse of a former President would actually run for President and be accepted as a candidate, but one has to think that if it had been, the possibility would also have prohibited.

This is an argument that should have been made long ago about Hillary Clinton, and while it would have been more useful then, it could still be made now.

It can’t stop Hillary’s candidacy, but I’d definitely support that in the future the spouses of Presidents not be allowed to be President, period. In a country of 300+ million people, it’s possible to find other qualified candidates.

I’m not offering a suggestion I’m offering a opinion that has not been aired even by the Trump Campaign.

Suppose Hitlery was elected? Is it too far fetched to think this is Bill’s third term as a de facto president?

If Hitlery were sworn in who would stop Bill from influencing his wife?

Imho I think this whole shebang as Hitlery for POTUS is a de facto presidency for Bill.

Who is going to take the call @ 3am? I don’t know- do you?
Hitlery coined this phrase and ignored the Benghazi call as Sec’y of State culminating in the death of Chris Stevens

I suspect they will largely freeze him out of the administration as he has complained they have done in the campaign.

He has signalled that he will keep the fraudulent charity going, so he will have more leverage than ever to trade money for access and favors, and since the FBI and IRS will be in their pockets, with no chance of impeachment, and the media strapping on the presidential kneepads for another 8 years, he will line his pockets and sleep around with as many women as possible and no one will be the wiser.

Give him plenty of Viagra pills and he will expire, probably sooner than later.

“Historically, when Mr. Clinton does not have a job to do, he gets into trouble.”

And when he DOES have a job to do he gets into even more trouble.

You have a delusion that The Chicago Rich Girl
is from Arkansas?

Well, maybe if they deported to her to Little Rock she
might have a coronary.

Hillary needs to get her expensive Mau Suit tailor to out fit Bill to represent the first lady position.
