April: Monica Lewinsky will announce her candidacy for President of the

If Hillary is still winning the nomination by then I am sure Monica
will be in the news, along with Vince Foster, Whitewater and the Rose
Law Firm. "Sherman, set the wayback machine to 1994"

The real question is if Hillary would name Bill as her running mate.
Things that make you go "Hmmm"
Which brings you back to Monica ;-)

Bill's not eligible. Have to be eligible to be POTUS.

I read a discussion about a year or so ago about this very thing.

The only qualification for Vice President is that the individual must
be at least 35 years of age, a natural born citizen of the United
States, and a resident of the U.S. for 14 years.

The Rules of Succession do not delineate prior service as a
disqualification for the office of Vice President as they do for the
office of President.

Which means that succession to the Presidency isn't in the rules -
only being elected to the Presidency is in the rules.

According to most constitutional lawyers surveyed in this article,
including schools from Harvard's School of Government (or whatever
it's called now) to Podunk University scholars, it's perfectly legal
to elect a former President to the office of Vice President.

Now if you read into that a little, you will find that potentially,
the office of Vice President, which does not have term limits, to be a
power base from which a smart politician can operate.

And if you don't think the Clinton's have thought about it a lot, your
nuts. :)
