I was wondering if Bill Clinton could run for President again, if he wanted to - or is he legally not allowed to? I know you can't serve for more than two consecutive terms, but how long after being a 2-time President does a person have to wait before running again?

No he is not allowed to run for President of the USA ever, once he serves his two terms

No, he may not. A President is allowed no more than 2 terms of office or ten years' time spent holding the office of President of the United States. Clinton's already racked up 8, and if elected again, he'd be going on 12.
As far as how long he'd have to wait, he'd hae to wait until the Constitution was amended--no easy feat.

Under the Constitution ther was no limit. Under the Amendments was added the below. You can only serve 2 terms period!
AMENDMENT XXII
Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.
Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.

No, there is the twenty 2nd replace in the 50's after Franklin Roosevelt's fourth election to place of work whilst all and sundry known that serving maximum of words below the incorrect circumstances (the chilly conflict began between the Capitalist countries vs. the Communist countries) may well be a predicament to the appropriate operation of the separation of powers, in reality showing specific features of a dictatorship.

It doesn't say so [ in the laws, books, etc].
Maybe he could if he had a special permission from the Congress, or from the "peolple" [ citizens of the USa], after all, the president is a representative of "THE PEOPLE?.

Sure he can--but why would he want to? He can still get as much tail out of the White House as he did in.
