Former President Clinton says third terms should be legal
Rule probably couldn't be applied to anyone who has already served, Clinton notes.
Former president Bill Clinton thinks presidents should be able to run for a third term. "Going forward, I personally believe that should be the rule," he said on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Tuesday.
Clinton was responding to a question on whether presidents should be able to serve for two terms, take time off, and run again.
"I think as a practical matter, you couldn't apply [the rule] to anyone who has already served," he said, adding that people are living -- and retaining the mental capacity to serve as president -- longer.
