Bill Clinton went to the hospital

According to the network ای‌بی‌سی‌نیوزClinton spokeswoman Angel Ornia said she had been admitted to the University of California Medical Center with an illness but was due to be released soon.

Ornia expressed hope that Clinton would return home soon.

The former president of the United States has faced many physical problems over the past two decades, most of which have been related to heart problems. He underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery in September 2004 and in February 2010, he implanted two arterial stents in his heart. Clinton also underwent surgery in 2005 for a lung problem.

Clinton, 75, served as the 42nd president of the United States from January 1993 to January 2001.

At the age of 32, he was elected governor of Arkansas in 1978 (1356-57) but failed to run for office in the second round. This American politician was again the governor from 1983 (1982) to 1992 (1370). Clinton then easily defeated George W. Bush Sr. in a race to become the first Democrat after Jimmy Carter.
