CBS/AP) Former President Clinton said Sunday that his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, would be an excellent choice as the first female leader of the world's most powerful nation.

In an interview with Japan's TV Asahi, Mr. Clinton said he did not know whether his wife has any plans to one day run for the White House.

"I don't know if she'll run or not," he told the network, but added, "She would make an excellent president, and I would always try to help her."
