10. Bill Clinton's "Third Term?"
Sat Mar 14, 2015, 12:11 PM

and no one wants to mention it or discuss what this could mean. Does he continue his CGI while living in the WH as the "First Man" (as that will be assumed to be his official title) and what will his duties be in that capacity? Will his influence extend into international affairs as Hillary deals with domestic issues or will it be reversed? No pun intended by mentioning "affairs" btw, but how do we know what their relationship is these days.

It would be a most unusual situation in governance--deciding the proper roles and duties of a former President and his First Lady, now reversed. Co-Presidency? Is that an issue that would call for revision of the Constitution?

I've asked several times in threads here on DU...and never get an answer as to how unusual and complicated this could be if we end up electing Hillary as President without dealing with "Bill."
