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.

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.
Here is today’s premium R&D to accompany 
Ever since she joined Barack Obama’s cabinet as Secretary of State, insiders across the political spectrum have weighed in about Hillary Clinton’s intentions in taking the job. Was she coming on board to overshadow the new president? Was she going to try to use the position to increase her political clout and make another run at the White House in 2016, or potentially 2012 if Obama failed? Or was she going into the job in order to provide a valuable supplement to the Obama team in the foreign arena?
