The Binary Executive
Excerpt: "For Love of Politics: Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years"
What would a Hillary Clinton Presidency look like? And, given that Bill would be back in the White House and in a very important sense, back in the game, what role would he take and how might it affect the role of Hillary's Vice President? Hill and Bill are political sidekicks, united by mutual admiration and ambition. They are each other's chief political guru. I really don't imagine Bill sitting back and keeping his mouth shut on policy issues. Hillary will consult him, and in a sense they will be co-presidents. This will be a first in our nation's history. So much for Bush's Unitary Executive. If Hillary wins the White House you can call it the Binary Executive.
