How much authority will Bill Clinton be given if Hillary is elected POTUS?

68. OK, I'll participate. Presidential spouses take all sorts of roles,

but they're all unofficial. Hillary, for example, worked on health care reform. Why does this matter to you? Bill Clinton has the experience of a former President, so I'm sure he can provide that perspective, when requested. But, then, Hillary also lived in the White House for eight years, served as a Senator, and as Secretary of State in Obama's administration. I'm pretty sure she knows the ropes and will walk into the Oval Office ready to go from day one.

In fact, there's really nobody else who could do that. Bill will be around, at least some of the time, and I'm sure will be happy to lend whatever advice he might have, but only when he is asked for it. Hillary Clinton is not anyone's background character. She will be fully in charge, I assure you.

On the other hand, maybe Bill Clinton will brush up on his cookie-baking skills or something and take up gardening and decorating.

This is a silly question you have asked, I think. You've seen Hillary Clinton. She is more than capable of thinking on her own and making decisions based on that thinking. I expect her to do just that, taking advice from all sorts of people, but then acting as she things best.

Hillary 2016!
