Also are spouses of the president allowed in the Oval office or is it for prez eyes and ears only? I thought it would be awkward since what happened with Bill in there...Would Hillary get angry sitting there thinking about it?

Bill and Monica used an alcove off of the oval office so the secretary could not see nor hear them. She will have more important things to think about.

Maybe. My impression is that their relationship is more professional than anything, so I'm not so sure she's haunted by jealousy quite the same way a real-life couple would be.
Are certain things for the President's eyes and ears only? Yes. And it is expected that she wouldn't share those things with her spouse, even if he is a former president. Former presidents do receive regular informational packets about what's going on at the executive branch, so they're still in on some of the goods, but not to the same extent as the acting president.
Visitors are allowed in the Oval Office. If something is confidential, one would hope the President is smart enough not to leave it out on the desk during a visit with the President of Iran, of course... Presidents get a very thorough orientation when they start their job, and they have a lot of assistants to help them manage their affairs and keep the top secret stuff top secret. But yeah, if the President could have his intern in there, there'd be no issue having the spouse in there either. There are probably restrictions regarding people other than the President being alone in the Oval Office, however.

Spouses of the prez are allowed in the oval office; it is not a religious inner sanctum. Hillary had 2 years in the WH to get over the revelation of the Monica affair. I'm sure thoughts of Monica and Bill's affair of 1996 won't distract her now. If Republicans start another multimillion dollar tax payer financed investigation on issues such as "travelgate" and "whitewater," then, yes, Hillary will get angry and her presidency will be hamstrung.

Hi,
I personally think that Bill Clinton's lack of discression is an obsession with the small mind. Hillary has bigger fish to fry just like she did at the time. If she becomes president, she'll have more important issues set before her that will have a much greater impact on America than something her husband did on a personal level a decade ago.

Anyone is allowed in the Oval Office as long as the President gives them permission. How do you think Monica got in there?
As for Hilary, I think that only children would put that ahead of doing the job it was intended for.
Speaking of children, do you think that Bush thinks what Bill did in that office and gets excited about it? I mean with his wife being a robot, I am sure he has to be bored with that.

Since Arkansas State Troopers have gone on record as saying Bill and Hillary participated in wife swapping, I hardly think it would bother her.

She would probably still get angry thinking about it. But she probably has gotten over it for a long time too.
Maybe she would seek to take revenge against Bill by doing it with another man.

Ithink she decides who gets to be in the oval office, with her being the president in this scenario and all

Power is obviously more important than pride to Hillary Clinton.
Aside: I think it's important for me to clarify that I didn't really give a damn about Bill's dalliances but when he CHOSE to perjure himself is where the line was irreversibly crossed in my opinion.
