can Hillary Clinton pick Bill Clinton as her vice president as she runs for President?

Answer 1

Very good idea, never crossed my mind!

thank you

Answer 2

No, the vice-president must be qualified to be the president and under the 22nd amendment a president can't serve more than 2 terms. Bill Clinton would be more likely to be Secretary of State.

Answer 3

No, for two reasons:

First, the person selected as Vice President must be qualified to assume the position of President in the event of the death or disability of the President. Since Bill Clinton has served two terms as President, he is probably not eligible to serve again.(However, the 22nd Amendment says that he cannot "be ELECTED to the officed of President more than twice" --- for President again--nothing in there about Vice president, so it is not clear.

Second, when the presidential electors vote in the Electoral College for President, they CANNOT vote for two people who are "inhabitants" of the same state as themselves. One of them has to be from a different state. ( Article II, Section 1 ) So, the President and Vice-President are selected by the parties from two different states. (and, just to be sure the language of the constitution is not clear about "inhabitants", the president and vice-presidenial candiates spend election day in their own separate states, not together.

But the question is just theoretical at best. The US is not like the Philippines, where President Ferdinand iMarcos had his wife Imelda elected Vice President, or Argentina, where Isabelle Peron became president, but the real power was Juan Peron. It just would not work from a point of the independence of the Presidency. If that were to happen, a lot of people, regardless of party, would not support that idea. Nor could Hillary name Bill to her cabinet. After Kennedy named his brother Bobby, to be Attorney General, the congress passed a law making it impossible for a president to appoint a relative to the cabinet, since it constituted nepotism.

Answer 4

No, she could not. The Vice President would have to be eligible to possibly serve as President. Bill Clinton is not, as he has already served two full terms as President.

Answer 5

Nope because Under the Constitution, the VP must be eligible for the presidency and Bill has already served two full terms.

Answer 6

She can't due to him serving 2 Presidency terms. It'd be hilarious to see him as First Man, provided she's elected to office.

Time for a female president? ABSOLUTELY!

How about a female President & Vice President?!

Answer 7

No. Under the Constitution, the VP must be eligible for the presidency and Bill is not as he has already served two full terms.

Answer 8

i do no longer think of Slick Willie can run for V.P. because of the fact he served his 2 words as President and can't be president returned. i could extremely vote for Pee Wee Herman. I do vote, hence, i'm registered. Barak Obama could be very almost as undesirable as Hillary herself. i'm self reliant, yet i wouldn't in any respect want a tricky left leaning president. If she ran with Obama she could on no account win, so as that would desire to be a solid concept.

Answer 9

Who cares there will never be another Clinton President Ever.

Answer 10

Yes, the 22nd amendment would not apply, as he would not be running for president. It states "can not be elected President", since it would not be President he would be running for he could legally run as the vice-president.

Answer 11

Probably, but would you, if you were her? Might better pick Al Gore, he is already parroting her it seems (the rebuttal to the State of the Union speech last night). For that matter she might better pick a man she wants to look at across the table.
