Recently, a lawyer reported that a president can keep a foundation but a Vice President or other legislators can not. If that’s the case, why couldn’t the foundation be in Hillary’s name with Bill running it as he is doing now?
Post CGI how we connect for impact needs to evolve - one pathway to evolution is to revisit funding structures for sustainable global development and the first step could be to explore how results based funding can have wider acceptance than it does today with a global plan for its implementation.
Carol, I think the issue is not whether keeping the foundation is legal, per se, but whether it has any appearance of potential corruption/bias or conflicted interest.
