Bill Clinton - Supreme Court Justice?


Could Bill Clinton serve as a Supreme Court Justice?

YES!

Even though he was impeached and has been disbarred (lost his license to practice law), it does not matter.

The United States Constitution provides two criteria for becoming a Supreme Court Justice:

1. be nominated by the President
2. be confirmed by the U.S. Senate

That's it. Those are the only restrictions set on who can become an SJC.

Interestingly, therefore, one does not have to be a United States citizen to serve on the Supreme Court.

So, in theory, if Hillary Clinton is elected President, she could nominate her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who has an almost cult-like following in the Democrat party. The same Democrat party that controls the Senate.

Imagine... Justice William Jefferson Clinton...

It could happen.
