The First Time in American History
When ever in American History has the person in second place offered the VP job to the person in first place?

What would happen if She got the nomination and she decides to do
another 1st.
Bill as VP.
She would be the first Female and he would be the first VP who was president before and be married to the President.

Can’t happen. To be vice-president, you must be eligible to be president. Since he can’t run again for the office, he is ineligible. That would also rule out Speaker of the House if he chose to run for Congress.

Another small (perhaps moot in this case ) point is that the president and vice-president cannot be from the same state.

Plus, there’s that pesky perjury conviction.

Irelands PM RE: Ms Clinton
Fox News reported a comment by the PM of Ireland. He was responding to Ms. Clintons' claimed role in the peace process of his country. The PM did not agree with her claimed role as peacemaker; only that she was on the trip with Mr. Clinton. Irelands PM said she had no role at all in the process.

So basically that'd be like me claiming I had a commission in the US Army because I was at Fort Benning while my husband was at OCS.

Nice. Although I'm guessing she's going to get a lot more mileage out of her claim then I would out of mine, were I to assert it. She gets a legitimate bid for the President, I'd just get locked up for breaking a few laws including the Stolen Valor Act.

Must be nice to be immune from having to tell the truth.
