Click to play videoWashington DC: What would former US president Bill Clinton do if Hillary Clinton becomes president?
“People ask me all the time, well, if you're elected, can you make him Secretary of State? And I tell them, I think that is, since President Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, I think that's illegal,” said Hillary Clinton.
We have never had a president married to a former president before. Is that a problem?
Voters expect a president to be his or her own person and the Clintons seem to be aware of the problem.
"She'll be the president. She'll make the decisions. But if I can help, I will,” said Bill Clinton.
Do voters want the former president to help? Apparently, they do.
By two to one according a CNN Opinion Research Poll, voters believe Bill Clinton would be an asset, not a liability, if his wife becomes president.
But what would he do? "I’m sure can make him ambassador to the world, because we have a lot of work to do to get our country back in the standing it should be,” said Hillary Clinton.
On Saturday, Senator Clinton said, “I can't think of a better cheerleader for America than Bill Clinton.''
Why do we need a cheerleader? Because friendship with other countries is as crucial in the war on terror as it used to be in the cold war. The Clintons want to have it both ways. The former president will be there.
"I've had a lot of experience and I can help her,” said Bill Clinton. But he won't be there running things. "I'd like to continue my foundation work around the world, but I want to be there for her,” he said.
