Report of President Clinton bid for Senate dismissed as 'crazy'

June 28, 1999
Web posted at: 11:59 a.m. EDT (1559 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN)-- President Bill Clinton on Monday dismissed speculation that he might run for the U.S. Senate from Arkansas after he leaves the presidency as "crazy," said his press secretary Joe Lockhart.

Lockhart said he asked Clinton about an item in the New Yorker speculating on a possible Senate bid. He said Clinton said he had no plans to run for the Senate. Lockhart quoted the president as saying, "that story is crazy, and I don't know where it came from."

Many of the president's friends have speculated that he might seek public office again after reaching his two-term limit, and Clinton has said he would run for the presidency again if not prohibited by the U.S. Constitution from seeking a third term. He has also joked in public about running for a local school board some day.
