On October 11, 1975, Bill Clinton married Hillary Rodham, a fellow law student at Yale. Clinton has often recalled how they met in the school library when she marched up to him and said, "If you're going to keep staring at me, I might as well introduce myself." Hillary was equally assertive as First Lady -- sometimes to the point of controversy. She set a new standard for political participation by the President's spouse, taking on much more than token projects. In 1993, President Clinton asked her to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform. Although the President's health care reform plan was eventually blocked by his opponents, Hillary took the opportunity to prove that she could be a formidable political presence. On November 7, 2000, Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first First Lady ever elected to the United States Senate and there have been persistent rumors of her running for President in 2008.
