President Clinton is listed as our 41st president, but only 40 men have held the office. Why?

Because one president, Grover Cleveland, was both the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. He is the only person to have served two non-consecutive terms.

No way, I couldn't refer to Bill Clinton as the first gentlemen. Maybe the "First Adultery"

I can't think of ONE woman qualified to hold the office of President.  Come to think of it...there aren't to many men either....\nThis race will be an interesting one!

It is impossible for this to occur as an amendment to the Constitution after FDR's reign declared no one could hold the Chief Executive Office for more than two terms (consecutively or otherwise).  Thus, it would be impossible for someone to assume the number 2 position having already held the number 1 for two terms.

Bush can not be re-elected President because he has already served his two terms... and no one can serve as President for more than 10 years. (the president can not serve a 3rd term because of the 22nd Amendment) \n\n\nTo answer the reworded question... my guess is they see it refers to Bush or the current government and just need to make sure they get a JAB in.

It's funny isn't it? They still talk about Clinton 6 years later, and he has been living that beautiful life. Anything that Bush screws up on, which is every week now, somehow President Clinton must have done it. Total ignorance! If they can't pick it off on Clinton then Abraham Lincoln did it. Bush and his followers are criminals to the U.S.. Vote them out!

No, as a former two term president he has already served 8 of the maximum 10 years that are allowed and if anything happened to President Hillary he could not fill out the term unless it is less than two years. In as much as it would be a four year term that would make it impossible.

You're going to do it?  Good luck!  The last 12 President's haven't been able to do it; maybe it's time for a new type of President.  Someone who's not a career politician.

it's not us per say. it's our president making the decisions that people have to follow. ask him.

Just like a male President's wife is not called the "First Wife," a female President's husband would not be called the "First Husband."  A president's wife is called the "First Lady," so Fmr. President Clinton would be the "First Gentleman" if Sen. Clinton wins the presidency.

The President and the Vice-President are the only officials elected by the entire country. However, there are requirements for holding either of these positions. In order to be elected, one must be at least 35 years old. Also, each candidate must be a natural-born U.S. citizen and have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years.\n\nWhen elected, the President serves a term of four years. At most, a President may serve two terms.\n\nNOTE: Before 1951, the President could serve as many terms as he wanted. However, every President had followed George Washington’s example of stepping down after two terms. Franklin D. Roosevelt broke with tradition. Roosevelt successfully ran for office four times. Early in his fourth term, in 1945, he died. Six years later, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment, which limits Presidents to two terms.\n\nThe President can be removed from office through the process of impeachment. If the House of Representatives feel that the President has committed acts of "Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors" they can impeach him with a majority vote. An impeachment is very similar to a legal indictment. It is not a conviction, however, and not enough to remove the President from office alone.\n\nThe case then goes to the Senate. Overseen by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Senate reviews the case and votes whether or not to convict the President. If they vote in favor of conviction by a two-thirds margin, then the President is removed from office.

I wish that more people were asking that question because I wish Bill was still our president. Take a look at every other country and how long their main leaders stay in power. The only term limits we need are in the senate and the congress so real people can get more involve with government. If we have a president the represents us well then why not keep him.

We usually make a person president when he is around 80 years old. Hence no fast President only slow Presidents.

you should ask women. Since the late 60's, more voters have been women then men. So if there hasn't been a female president yet, it's the women that made it so.

i think youre talking about the checks and balances idea we have in the us. and its so one branch can't run away with power the problem is that right now with bush there is no one checking him. i heard a stat that clinton administration got 'checked' over a 1000 times by congress and the bush administration just once. some thing is wrong with that. but benefits is to keep a dictatorship from happening.
