WASHINGTON — When Bill Clinton told the staff of his global charity he would have to step down if Hillary Clinton won the White House, he was vividly clear about how that felt: Worse than a root canal, he said. “Bill Clinton is smart enough to know that as much as the Clinton Foundation might help to augment his legacy, Hillary Clinton becoming president will be a far greater legacy than anything he himself can do as a former president,” Updegrove said. And for some Democrats, even that perception is worrisome in an election year where control of the White House and Congress are at stake. President Barack Obama has been discussing plans for his White House afterlife with confidants for months. Bill Clinton’s foundation began largely to support the building of his presidential library in Little Rock, Arkansas.
