With Hilary stepping down, do you think the tide is about to change? I would love for Wm. to be much more vocal in our political landscape. Obviously, it can't be Obama who suggests the measure; he'll be villainized. Has anyone else suggested a change in presidential limits? I've only heard of the opposite; congressional terms being limited.

There have been rumblings now-and-then of repealing XXII, but nothing serious.  Even if it was repealed tomorrow the term limits would likely remain applicable to Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, just as President Truman wouldn’t have been term limited by the Amendment because it was ratified during his Presidency.  I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon.

I’m curious to see what’s next for Hillary Clinton.  Obviously, she’s probably looking forward to just resting for a bit.  She’s been going non-stop for decades now — her law career, First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the United States, U.S. Senator, leading candidate for President, and now Secretary of State, with no breaks in between.  I’m sure she wants to recharge her batteries, but I just can’t imagine that she’s finished with public service.  I don’t know if she’ll take a shot at the Presidency in 2016 (she’ll be nearly 70 years old), but who knows?  I think she could also be a potential Supreme Court nominee.
