Hillary Clinton says goodbye, for now Mrs Clinton, who has travelled almost a million miles, apparently held 1,700 meetings with world leaders and eaten some 570 airplane meals, will step down on Friday after four years as America's top diplomat. It's been my whole life. I mean, I've had a job ever since I was 13 years old. When I wasn't in school, I was working. "When I wake up, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, to have the luxury of nowhere to go, nothing to do, no frantic call about calling some leader about some impending crisis, I'm actually interested to see how that goes," she told CNN. It was possible she might work together with the Clinton Global Initiative founded by her husband, former president Bill Clinton, as well as with her daughter Chelsea. "We're going to look to see how we can join our efforts together," she said. But she also insisted on NBC News that her recent health scare, when she suffered a concussion and a blood clot, would not "factor in at all" in any decision-making about whether to make one more bid for the White House.
