    she would be retiring after she served, like every other president does, and we would lose her voice.

    That’s not a rule, you know. John Quincy Adams served in the House after being President, Andrew Johnson became a Senator, and Taft got appointed to the SCOTUS.

      I know, but it’s precedent. And I’m sure the secret service wouldn’t love her continuing to be active in politics.

      I don’t know about Quincy adams, but the other two do not represent what I want more of in American politics

          My point is that it’s too much to ask of her to be president for eight years and then continue nobly serving her country.

          The people who still want to be in politics after that aren’t doing it for good reasons.

          Exactly. I mean just look at how a former President conducted the dismissal of bipartisan border legislation!
