Bill Clinton Vice President of Hillary? Could Happen! - NO Hillary Clinton For President

WiseOne · #1 05.15.2007

I was talking to a friend of mine today and she scared the wits out of me...she said YES, Bill Clinton could become Hillary's Vice-President. I said, WHAT? I know he can't get "elected" again BUT he CAN become Hillary's Vice-President as HE wouldn't be actually "elected"...this is the most scary scenario I have thought of yet and is deeply provocative to say the least!

This could happen for them, I think, IF she said he was going to be Vice-President with her, I cannot see how they can lose seeing how so many Americans still think Bill Clinton was a good President. This is a horrible thought to me. What say you?

Quote:

The answer is: He can. The 12th Amendment states that anybody who is eligible for the presidency under Article II of the Constitution (a natural-born citizen age 35 or older) is eligible for the vice presidency. Clinton is a natural-born citizen over 35, so he qualifies. The putative roadblock to a Clinton vice presidency--the 22nd Amendment--doesn't apply. This hastily worded and passed amendment, designed to block another multi-multi-term presidency such as FDR's, only bars the election of a president to more than two terms in that office. It doesn't prevent a two-term president from running for the vice presidency. SLATE

The 22nd Amendment would NOT stop them from their devious plot, its simple. Another article in Washington Post helps explain this issue too.

Do you all think this could happen? IF we thought of it, haven't they? Why is Bill Clinton on a nationwide tour to try and hide his reputation? Why does Hillary say he would be "Ambassador to the world"? Is there more meaning to that than meets the ear?

Think of it! Bill Clinton would be head of the Senate and would have the "tie-breaking vote" ability as well. This is a fascinating thought. It would break all records and people would vote for those two JUST to have fun and make history. A "perfect storm"

OR, Am I just babbling and you think there is no way this would happen?

I don't think that the Broom Rider would even entertain the thought. She would never want it to appear that Bill was actually running the country behind the scenes but that's exactly what people would be saying. There would also be that nagging doubt that she couldn't have won without him on the ticket, and her ego is just much too big for that.

Well you know I think it could happen, but we won't know til the broom broad tells us. If that did happen I think it would be the killing blow for our country as we know it.

I disagree...I think she WOULD do this as a last resort...and he would do it. She could care less about ANY nagging doubts as proved by Bill's exploits over the years...IMHO.

I never even gave it a thought that that we could have a Clinton and Clinton administration..what a SCARY thought...

WiseOne · #6 05.21.2007

Yea, I never had either until this was pointed out to me...THEN Hillary saying Bill would be "Ambassador to the World" comes to life. Makes one REALLY wonder. I think she WOULD say that Bill will be Vice-President IF she gets desperate enough!

Ive heard the possibility mentioned before. And its scary. Actually if any of you listen to the Mike Church (mikechurchdotcom)
show on Sirius sat radio you would have heard him talking about this scary possibility long ago. Mike says that Bubba won't pass up a chance to have more interns at his beck and call.

I think Ms Broom would put Bill on the ticket as a last resort, in her efforts to be the first woman prez. I don't think we should underestimate the lows that they will stoop to put her in office. Vince Foster comes to mind. I doubt any body believes he really committed suicide.
If I was Obama I would want secret service protection too.

Never underestimate the ego of this witch.

This idea is false. Perhaps a scheming lawyer would want to parse these words, but this is what the Constitution says:

12th Amendment (last sentence)
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Don't worry folks, there ain't gonna be Vice President Bubba. And I really don't think even the vile Clintons would be so crass as to try such a thing.

whether or not it is legal it doesn't matter. Hillary will do what's necessary to get elected and knows that it would look bad for her in the eyes of the public if she chose him. Hillary will stop at nothing to get elected and she won't make that stupid mistake.

Hey Corvair, do you honestly believe that there is anything too crass for the Clintons to try?
