Should Bill Clinton Testify at Hillary's Confirmation Hearing?

Should Bill Clinton Testify at Hillary's Confirmation Hearing?

Senate Republicans want two Clintons for the price of one when it comes time to confirm Hillary Clinton for secretary of state. Some GOP lawmakers have considered calling on Bill Clinton to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations committee on potential conflicts of interest, before they give his wife their stamp of approval.

The ex-president agreed to significant concessions requested by the Obama campaign before the president-elect chose Hillary, including making public all donors to his foundation and clearing all of his future speeches and charitable activities with the Obama administration. Bill also says he plans on staying in the shadows while Hillary serves as secretary of state. In addition, it's rare to have anyone but the nominee testify at confirmation hearings, let alone the spouse! Then again, the Clintons aren't your typical couple, and congressional Republicans have taken a special interest in them before. Do you think it's fair to ask Bill to testify before confirming Hillary?Source

Should Bill Clinton Testify at Hillary's Confirmation Hearing?

Yes! Concerns over Bill's international work are valid and should be addressed.

No! It's a hearing about Hillary's ability to serve, not a political circus.

Other. I'll tell you in the comments.

Bill Clinton Says He's Cool With Staying in the Shadows

Bill Clinton, America's 42nd president, says he's ready to stay out of his wife's way as she serves as president 44's secretary of state. Bill told CNN that he would act as Hillary's sounding board, but doesn't think he'll do more than that. As for helping Obama, Bill said he would if Obama asked him "to do something specific."

Did This Election Season Create Clinton Backlash?

Did This Election Season Create Clinton Backlash?

For years, Bill and Hillary Clinton have been the portrait of the American political couple — while of course they've always had their detractors and critics — they've stood as powerhouses both on their own and together. Even before her campaign for president ended, however, to some the election season exposed a less than pleasant underbelly of the Clintons. While Bill and Hill supported Barack Obama, at times it seemed like they were intentionally not putting their hearts in the campaign. For instance when Bill stopped by Letterman he complimented McCain and (as Chris Rock pointed out right after) seemingly avoided saying Obama's name.

The rationale behind Clinton's tepid support could have had something to do with wanting Hillary to have another chance in 2012, but that might be painting the couple far more sinister than we should. They came under fire again this week when they had to deny having told senators to support Lieberman. While in the end the Clintons did rally for Obama, the lack of full-hearted support turned some fans sour. Now that the election is over, do you think this election season caused a Clinton backlash?Source

Did This Election Season Create Clinton Backlash?

Yes — Their behavior during and after the election tarnished their reputation.

No — They're still one of my favorite political families.

I never admired them to begin with.

Other — I'll tell you below in comments.
