Bill Clinton for senate!Spence99 said:It used to in the past. Not so much in the modern age when most Presidents are ultra wealthy and don't need to do anything when their time in Washington is finished.

A President went on to the Supreme Court also. I forget who though.

SeanH said:OK, a hypothetical for you Constitution experts. If Bill went to the Senate, became speaker and the Prez and VP died, could he become President?
ETA: If I remember the wording right, it says no-one can be "elected" to the office more than twice.

If Bill Clinton went to the Senate and managed to get elected Pres. Pro Tempore within the Senate there is no Consitutional barrier to him being 3rd in the line of succession. The President, VP and Speaker of the House would all have to die in very short order however.
