1. Hillary wins the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States

2. Naturally, she wants to choose as her running mate someone with a lot of knowledge and experience in government and foreign affairs, someone who is a seasoned campaigner who could bring a lot of strength to the ticket. Who better than Bill, her husband?!!!

3. Hill and Bill go on to win the election in November and the Democrats maintain control of the House and the Senate.

4. Hillary is sworn in as President on January 20, 2009. The next day, after all the inauguration parties are over, she calls a press conference to make an announcement: she is resigning as President!!! Bill, as the Vice President, immediately becomes President!!! This is all perfectly legal under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, for it states that "no person may be elected as president more tha n twice". Bill is not being elected for a third term but is merely serving out the remainder of Hillary's term---all 4 years of it.

5. But wait! There's more! The following day Bill calls a press conference to make an announcement. He has chosen someone to fill the now-vacant office of Vice President. Guess who he picks? Why, Hillary, of course!!! So she can run for two more terms.

6. Have a nice day, if you can!!!

7. Now I am afraid to go to sleep

Impossible for 3 reasons.

1) President and VP can't be from same state. That's why Cheney changed his residence back to Wyoming.

2) Nepotism rule that was institutied into government after JFK was killed becasue he has Bobby as his AG.

3) The 12th amendment states the VP has to meet the elegibility requirements of the President. Bill Clinton has served his two terms, which is what he is limited to under the 22nd amendment.
