9. Bill also said in 2000 "I probably would have run again" if the Constitution allowed it.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bill Clinton says he would have been tempted to run for president again if the Constitution would have let him. And, he says, he would have won.

"Oh, I probably would have run again," Clinton tells Rolling Stone in an interview.

Does he think he'd have been a three-time winner?

"Yes. I do. But it's hard to say, because it's entirely academic," Clinton said.

He adds that as life expectancy rises, there may be a reason to change the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two four-year terms. Maybe it should just limit presidents to two "consecutive" terms, Clinton suggests.
