She said herself when Bill was in office, "we are the president" Does anyone think that it shouldnt be allowed for a couple to be president/first lady and then turn around and become the opposite? To me it seems like electing the same president over. Im just wondering other peoples thoughts.
I am not asking personal opinions on hillary.

by the way, im not questioning wether or not it is legal, I know that it is, Im asking wether or not people think it should be.

Just because she said "We are the president" doesn't mean that she was actually the president, obviously. I suspect that if she is elected we will actually see a somewhat different administration than we saw under Bill Clinton. In fact, if she is elected, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Bill wasn't even living at the White House most of the time.

After election day '08....
" Oh You say that Hillary Clinton was voted president... Who woulda believed that a year ago? You know what else I heard. I heard the Canada is a really nice place to live..."
If she gets elected president then I am outta here. She would be worse than the dumbf*ck we have in there now. For once we should have a guy who is a normal american. No offense to those people who support her but she isnt the lasting impression you want when you think of the first woman President...

Should it be legal for an unelected person to run for office?
Yes, marriage doesn't mean that you are surgically attached and become 'one person'.
I married a truck driver, but I don't have a CDL. But we talk about things involving his job.
I'm not sure if you don't understand what marriage is or what elections are, or what a legal term is, Bill cheated, she didn't, and our country was in pig heaven for those years despite the constant persecution of the Clintons with all manner of mud being slung, and now resurrected and slung again.
I would love to see another eight years as good as the years under Clinton were, but Hillary has a different and a very difficult time ahead of her.

Of course it should be legal. It was Bill Clinton's decision whether or not he wanted to take Hillary's advice while he was President. Just like it will be Hillary's choice whether or not she wants to take advice from hubby Bill. My guess is that Bill will be off doing whatever, and Hillary will be working hard and making her own decisions.

Are you married or with a significant other? If you are does that make you one in the same person? I would be willing to guess that you still have your own thoughts and it probably causes some fights when you discuss the differences. That would make you a separate person with separate thoughts. So we wouldn't be reelecting Bill. If she wins mind you.

It should be legal for her to be president. No matter what she said, "We" weren't president - Bill Clinton was president. She was there only because she married him. If she wins the election next year, she can legally become president.
No matter how much it galls me to admit that...

i personally don't think its electing the same president over again. its a different person and DIFFERENT sex, so they don't think the same. and its good to switch politicians, i mean 8 years in presidency is enough thank you...

If the son of a pres. can be elected, why can't the wife of a pres?
There is no law against it and there shouldn't be.

By our Constitution, it already is legal whether I agree with her politics or not.

And of course, if she WERE to be elected, Bill would be...
...the power behind the crone.
