Yknow there's a strong argument to be made had Hillary won, she would have been circumventing the 2 term rule
You have a curious definition of "strong argument".
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.
Imagine misunderstanding the implication she was running the show the whole time this hard
Have people been telling you that's insane when you say it clearly and directly?
No. Most people have a functioning brain and noticed themselves, and it was clear and direct to begin with.
Under the same logic, wouldn’t Biden also be ineligible because he was also in the white house (as vp) for 8 years?
Well no, because Obama wasn't Bidens puppet.
Interesting take. I see the argument, I'm not sure if I agree with it.
