This R&D provides resources on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s health.  Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump raised questions about Clinton’s health throughout the summer and these comments got more attention after Clinton experienced weakness and had to be helped into her vehicle after leaving a September 11 memorial service early on Saturday.  Clinton’s doctors later announced that she had pneumonia, prompting some analysts to question how this revelation could affect the 2016 campaign, especially if it limits Clinton’s future appearances on the campaign trail.

Hillary Clinton in 2016

For the last fourteen years political pundits have debated whether Hillary Clinton will become America’s first female president.  When her husband Bill ended his presidency in 2001, Hillary became New York’s junior senator.  In 2004, she thought of running for the Democratic presidential nomination, but opted against it.  In 2008, she decided to run for the presidency but was defeated by Barack Obama in the closest primary race since 1976.  Following the 2008 presidential election Clinton became President Obama’s Secretary of State.  She left that position in 2013 and observers believe she has been using her time away from Washington to solicit support for another presidential bid.

Instead of focusing on Secretary Clinton’s background, this topic brief will breakdown three questions that extempers will receive about her during the 2014-2015 season:  Will Clinton choose to run for the presidency in 2016?  Can she win the Democratic nomination if she chooses to run?  And most importantly, can she win a general election and become America’s first female president?
