Clinton’s heart problems are well documented. He suffered a heart attack in 2004 that required bypass surgery, then returned to the hospital in 2005 for a collapsed lung linked to that procedure. Over the years, he has had two stents placed and, in 2021, was hospitalized with a urological infection that led to sepsis.
Despite his health challenges, Clinton has remained active. Just this past summer, he promoted his latest political thriller, The First Gentleman, co-written with author James Patterson.
Bill Clinton, born on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas, served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. A Rhodes Scholar, he studied at Georgetown University and Oxford before earning his law degree from Yale, where he met Hillary Rodham, whom he married in 1975
