Former President Bill Clinton on Queen Elizabeth II: "She was an amazing woman"

"It was wise not to underestimate her," former President Bill Clinton said of Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, who died Thursday at the age of 96. "She was a smart person. She knew what she was doing. And she believed that the life she had devoted to preserving the British monarchy was not a wasted life."

Clinton, like almost every other president since Dwight Eisenhower, made it a point to see – and be seen with – Queen Elizabeth.

Correspondent Rita Braver asked, "Why did American presidents time after time carve out time to do this, to meet with someone who really didn't have any actual power?"
