Clinton Will Not Seek Wife's Seat
Bill Clinton "has no interest in replacing his wife in the U.S. Senate," his spokesman told CNN, "adding any speculation that he would be interested is 'completely false.'"
"Only two former presidents have made the move from the White House to Capitol Hill. President John Quincy Adams lost his re-election bid in 1828. Two years later he returned to Washington after winning election as a congressman from his home state of Massachusetts. He served in the House of Representatives until his death in 1848.
"President Andrew Johnson, who served out the remainder of President Abraham Lincoln's term, also served briefly in the Senate in 1875, seven years after Congress voted to impeach him."
