No.
Depends on the definition used by the people who have stewardship over what it means to be a Rhodes Scholar.

Not exactly
What you said was: Of course, that was when there was a Rhodes scholar in Seat Number 1 You didn't say Clinton was a Rhodes scholar. You said there was a Rhodes scholar as president. That means that he was a Rhodes scholar while he was president. He wasn't. He was a former Rhodes scholar when he was president. :-P

Mea Culpa - should have been "former Rhodes scholar"
But, and this is my own ignorance, I always considered the "former" implied.

Much ado about straw- Colossus of Rhodesism
All US Presidents are addressed as "Mr. President" - for life. Ditto Judges, many military, oodles of "Doctors", Professori Emeriti yada.
Once, ever a "Rhodes Scholar" - as assuredly, a "Rhodes Scholar" in perpetuity. (Did his scholarship / scholarliness cease to exist at the end of some time period?)
Pshaw, or as Bill the Cat sez Ack Phhhhbbbbbbtttttt

Yep, you're right.
So depends on how Clinton was billing himself, as a Rhodes Scholar, or as a former Rhodes Scholar. :-)

Wouldn't asking Rhodes be the appropriate place
regards of what a family server somewhere says, aren't they the owners of Rhodes Scholars?

Chuckle
okay, they own the name "Rhodes Scholar".
And if you notice, you'll find that they list the recently elected 2003 Rhodes Scholars.
