A Clinton back in the oval office?
And could this Clinton be Bill? US News and World Report's Washington Whispers column sees a possibility:
Here's the long shot of the year: Congressional Democrats will OK a constitutional amendment allowing naturalized citizens like California Gov. Arnold Schwarzen egger [sp] to run for president if Republicans help kill the 22nd Amendment barring third terms, thus clearing the way for another bid by Bill Clinton and, presumably, President Bush. Right now it's the talk among political strategists, but look for it to spread on Capitol Hill when Sen. Orrin Hatch reintroduces his plan to let naturalized citizens run for president after 20 years.I'm not certain how good such a deal would be for the American Democracy, but it's interesting to read about possible high-stakes poker between the two parties.
