Bill Clinton says he could run for President of Ireland in 2018, succeeding Michael D Higgins

Ireland , the 'failed state should be annexed coming future, by you statesiders. Bill won't have any criteria to fulfill then. Cakewalk.

Hey , i like clinton and all , but i would rather if the americans sent arnie over to us. How priceless would it be to hear him in china representing ireland :D

The most admired president in the U.S.; Also the most despicable and immoral. He would be perfect for the current Ireland, a failed nation.

What the "heck" has Lewinski got to do with his remark about the presidency?

Seanmor - Thanks...that's why I quoted DeV as one example, hence use of eg and NOT ie...

DanOLoinsighin and leahkinsella: Eamonn de Valera was NOT the only foreign born president of the Irish state; Erskine Childers who became president in 1973 was of English birth.

@leahkinsella. Éamon de Valera.....

leahkinsella - NOT a requirement to be born in Ireland (eg DeV)...All one needs is to be a Citizen...and over 35...so a whole lot of people are or could become eligible...

rhode scholar , to feed on the bones - sharks devour schmucks Shatter will want the prezzy for self.

he also said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman miss Lewinski." to be fair I believe he was refering to his wife as "that woman".

To be honest, I'd say he win by a land-slide. Irish people know he was very instrumental in bringing peace to this island and they know the US economy was strong while he was in the big seat. Bring him on.

we admire you bill clinton but the candidates for the Irish Presidency must be BORN, RAISED AND LIVE IN IRELAND! Bill was joking, he knows the rules of the Irish Constition and this is wishful thinking on the part of some Irish Americans.

I would like to see him run for prime minster. He would get the economy going.

By all means, please take him, the idiot socialist Obama and Monica Lewinski as well.

This is a bit like being too nice to your neighbours to the point they get the mistaken impression you wouldn't mind if they moved in. It's bad enough paying our native chancers a ridiculous salary for an office that should be abolished. He'd win by a landslide because the Irish mentality is such that anyone from anywhere else is assumed to be better than the home grown political potatoes.
