"SNIP...........

Former President Bill Clinton will take his wife's place at several campaign events in the next couple of days. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has been recovering from pneumonia at home after abruptly leaving a Sept. 11 commemoration ceremony in New York on Sunday, where her campaign said she became overheated and dehydrated.

Hillary Clinton will release more information about her medical condition in the next couple of days, her campaign says. Campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said the release is being done "to further put to rest any lingering concerns" about the Democratic nominee's health.

Clinton's physician later released a statement revealing that the candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday. Fallon said he "can attest" that there is "no other undisclosed condition. The pneumonia is the extent of it."

Clinton, 68, has twice been diagnosed with blood clots in her legs. In 2012, a clot was discovered in her brain while she was undergoing treatment for a concussion.

I expect Hillary will be back in good form soon. This isn't a good role for the former President.
