Bill Clinton is not vegetarian nor vegan. It was something the media put on him and he didn't push back. Yes he started eating fewer animals but he was still eating, Fishes and Turkeys and possibly other animals he didn't mention.

Yeah, extra credit for using the "plant-based" term. Even if someone has an absolutely vegan diet, I don't consider them "vegan" if they buy leather or any such thing. But I'm picky that way about language -- it is excellent that he's taken this step for health.
