Former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton officially came out Monday in support of gay marriage, her short video statement viewed by many as a strategic move ahead of the next presidential race in 2016. In the six-minute video, released by the Human Rights Campaign‘s arm in support of marriage equality, Ms. Clinton says that gays and lesbians are “full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship.”

Hillary Clinton stepped down as Secretary of State on Friday, returning to private life after 31 years in the public eye. 

Analysts say President Barack Obama already appears to have made up his mind on Keystone U.S. Senator John Kerry’s commitment to tackling global warming will face several tests if he takes over as secretary of state but stopping an issue that has become a top environmental focus — the Keystone XL pipeline — will likely not be among them. President Barack Obama nominated Kerry on Friday for Hillary Clinton’s job and the senator is expected to win swift Senate confirmation.

Hillary Rodham Clinton formally resigned Friday as America’s 67th secretary of state, capping a four-year tenure that saw her shatter records for the number of countries visited. In a letter sent to President Barack Obama shortly before she was to leave the State Department for the last time in her official capacity, Clinton thanked her former foe for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination for the opportunity to serve in his administration. Clinton said it had been an honor to be part of his Cabinet.

Departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged “lingering effects” from a concussion and cerebral blood clot even as she said they are “decreasing” and “will disappear.” Ms. Clinton, a potential presidential candidate in 2016, shared the national television spotlight Sunday night with President Barack Obama, an erstwhile political rival for the office who used a joint interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes program to praise Ms. Clinton’s influence in shaping his administration’s policies and thank her as a “strong friend.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been speaking with staff and reviewing paperwork from the New York hospital where she is recovering from a blood clot in her head, the State Department said Wednesday. Doctors continue to monitor Clinton’s progress and her response to blood thinners intended to dissolve the clot. Aides said there was no update Wednesday on her condition, but emphasized that the secretary remained engaged with staff in Washington who are handling U.S. foreign policy in her absence.
