Im questioning whether or not its a done deal shes running and she would not be human if they were not if she did not take this into consideration. Shell be 69 at the time of the 2016 election. If she gets elected and serves two terms she will be 77. Hillary clinton only recently has admitted shes considering a run for the presidency but insists shes not made any firm plans.
