    Yknow there’s a strong argument to be made had Hillary won, she would have been circumventing the 2 term rule

      Under the same logic, wouldn’t Biden also be ineligible because he was also in the white house (as vp) for 8 years?

        Oh cmon. If Bill hadn’t married her, he’d be a retired lawyer in Little Rock today. Any other first ladies end up Secretary of State in another administration a decade later?

          Is there more to the argument because it looks like you’re kinda jumping from “she became secretary of state” to “she would’ve been 3 term”. She was qualified to be president despite Bill.
