In a Clinton Administration, what role would Bill serve?

Lots of first wives have served major roles in their husbands presidential reigns. Mary Todd Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary, and a great deal of other names I am forgetting.
But it seems to me, Bill Clinton and Hillary are acting like a Hillary win would mean a co presidency. Essentially it seems, that Bill would be the vice president, even as someone else would be named to fill that role.

Is there a precedent for this?

And Hillary lies about the fact that she and Bill are running together instead of campaigning for a Hillary presidency. One sign the Hillary campaign has created said something along the lines of “a vote for Hillary means a vote for more Bill”. Then Hillary comes out and says “I am running for president not Bill”.


How much of a role would Bill have in a Hillary presidency?

    Depends on whether or not he's allowed to have cigars in the White House this time around :D

    No but seriously.. she's no doubt using Bill to help her get votes. It might not seem fair, but all candidates seem to pull something like that, maybe not with their spouse, but someone popular.

    Anyway, I'm an Obama supporter right now, however I'm not against a Billary White House. After the last 7 years, the 8 before it were like a dream. I welcome Bill back.

    If she were smart, she'd exile Bill to be ambassador to the UK... basically, anything to get him OUT of the country.

    Anything less, and Bill Clinton would be just a meddlesome pain in the butt for the administration. I can't see him keeping his mouth shut on anything.

    I wouldn't mind corruption as long as the country wasn't suffering because of it. And I'm not saying it would be corrupt. The Clinton administration was one of the best in our history. Give or take a blow job, which isn't even a big deal in my eyes.

    As Senator Clinton said at the debate on Thursday

    Its going to take another Clinton to clean up the mess after Bush. (paraphrasing)

    Senator Clinton has already stated that Bill's job would be a good will ambassador who would work under the discretion of the Secretary of State and possibly help out the US United Nations Ambassador.

    Clearly you're not up to speed on all the people Senator Clinton has had knocked off. She so good in fact one of her victoms died of "Natrual Causes" do to his age being over 90. Senator Clinton may also been the trigger woman in Vince Fostors death! PIAPS will get you!!!

    I really do not understand this fear of Senator Clinton people seem to have. It is not rational behavior.

    Power to the Peacefull!

    What the fuck are you idiots talking about? Who said the Clintons were killing people? Why are we comparing the candidates to the present administration at all? What, so we have Bush and his war and his admin's war crimes, so things are SO fucked you are ready to elect a pair that are just as dirty as the Bushes? And why the hell would you want ANOTHER dynasty presidency? ANYONE would be better than Bush, that doesnt mean they should be president. :rolleyes:

    Um, theroachman was clearly joking. Clearly. Especially with the part about Hillary killing a 90-year-old man with natural causes. Dead giveaway, no pun intended.
