Hillary, are you feeling OK? Because it seems the presidential candidate may have a case of the Beyhives.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hillary Clinton attended a town hall in Mason City, Iowa as part of her current 2016 campaign.

At one terrific point during the event, the democratic candidate was posed an especially pressing question from an attendee:

"Would you rather be president or @Beyonce?" -question from the audience. #IACaucus 1/3— Danny Freeman (@DannyEFreeman) December 16, 2015

Ms. Clinton's response was a little bit of magic -- as well as a testament to Beyoncé's universal appeal.

"If I really had a choice, I'd rather be president because I can't sing," replies @HillaryClinton. #IACaucus 2/3— Danny Freeman (@DannyEFreeman) December 16, 2015

"I want to be as good a president as @Beyonce is a performer" says @HillaryClinton in Iowa City. #IACaucus 3/3 pic.twitter.com/4jQznCVR19— Danny Freeman (@DannyEFreeman) December 16, 2015

The final part of Hillary's #flawless answer was captured on video and posted to Twitter shortly after.

And as a little follow-up to the question -- Big Hill confirms she was speaking in complete seriousness for her admiration of Bey. (Who would joke about that sort of thing?)

We hope, if things go well for Clinton, Bey is probably cool to do a couple in-home performances at the White House.
