Mr Clinton joked that the loss of his presidential privileges meant: "For the first time in eight years I am in the driving seat." He then issued what sounded like a warning to his opponents, saying: "I have left the White House, but I'm still here." In a display of loyalty, Mrs Clinton agreed to accompany her husband on the short trip to their new house in Chappaqua rather than remain in Washington in her new role in the United States Senate.
