After the White House: Former Presidents as Private Citizens Book

hat do you do with yourself after holding the most powerful office in the world? A relatively young man, Bill Clinton probably has many years to come up with his own answers to this question. After the White House is the first book to take a systematic look at the post-presidential careers of Clinton and his prede-cessors. Thirty-two completed their terms. Four became presidential candidates again (one was even elected), two served in Congress, one accepted election to the Confederate Congress, and one became Chief Justice.
