Bill Clinton has said that he hopes there is a female president in his lifetime, but added that he has "no idea" if his wife is planning on running.

From Politico:

Former President Bill Clinton said Monday he would like to see a female president, but he has "no idea" if his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will run in 2016.

"I hope we have a woman president in my lifetime, and I think it would be a good thing for the world as well as for America," Clinton said at a conference in China, according to Agence France-Presse.

Although Bill Clinton claims to have "no idea" about his wife's plans for 2016, Democratic strategists and donors are preparing for a what is widely considered as an inevitable Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.
