Hillary Clinton A Woman Shouldnt Have to Share the 10 Bill
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton criticized the Treasury Department on Tuesday for its decision not to remove Alexander Hamilton from the 10 bill when a woman is added to the redesigned bill in 2020. "I don't like the idea that as a compromise you would basically have two people on the same bill. One would be a woman. That sounds pretty second class to me," Clinton said in an interview with CNN. "So I think a woman should have her own bill.", The former Secretary of State also echoed some advocates who argue that a woman should instead be honored on the 20 bill while Andrew Jackson is removed  sparing Hamilton, whom many consider a far superior politician to Jackson, from an unceremonious "demotion.", The Treasury Department had announced its intention to include a woman on the 10 bill in June, following a high-profile campaign calling for a female likeness to appear finally on a dollar bill. No decision has been made yet to fully remove Hamilton from the 10 bill, according to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who said officials are "exploring a variety of possibilities.", The selection of the historic female figure will be announced by Lew later this year.
