Former President Bill Clinton has been admitted to a Washington DC hospital. In a post on X, Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff Angel Ureña said Clinton was being admitted for observation and testing after developing a fever.
Clinton, 78, has had his share of health problems since leaving the White House, having quadruple coronary artery bypass surgery in 2004 and an angioplasty with 2 stents placed in 2010.
In 2021, he spent 6 days in the hospital for an infection in his bloodstream.
The cause of the fever has not been released.
With no official diagnosis being released publicly, X users have been speculating about possible causes of Clinton's fever.
We're not saying it's not possible; it is Bill Clinton, after all. But, syphilis can be treated on an outpatient basis and wouldn't require hospitalization.
Again, probably not. A fall down the stairs wouldn't necessarily present with a fever. Besides, if it were Hilary, we'd expect her to be far more creative than that.
Now, this is much more creative. Bill might be in trouble if this nurse walks in and the security detail takes a bathroom break.
HA! We see what you did there.
Former Presidents keep their taxpayer-funded Cadillac insurance plans for life. So no, he is not on ObamaCare. Not even Obama is on ObamaCare.

The cause of the fever can get you hospitalized, and just because we don't know the cause doesn't mean his doctors don't know. The difference is if one of us showed up at the hospital with a fever, we'd still be in the waiting room. Former Presidents are treated differently.
Many just sent Clinton well wishes.
Sort of.
Bill was admitted for observation; at this point, there is nothing to suggest his condition is life-threatening.
That might be true. Jimmy Carter may be the Keith Richards of US Presidents.
Whatever the cause of the fever, we wish the former president a speedy recovery and hope he is getting the treatment he needs.
Do you think they've tried more cowbell?
