No. Bill Clinton was never in the military. He got a student deferment from the draft and avoided any form of military service.
Mitt Romney received a two year religious deferment to serve as a missionary in France. When he returned he was issued a draft card, but his number was never called up.
Economic Hardship deferment and Unemployment deferment get 3 years each. Military deferment and School Deferment are unlimited. There are several types of deferment so it depends on the one you qualify for.

It can be based on their income at the time but there is also anther way for them to get a deferment and that is if they are still attending school. Then they don't have to pay until after they graduate or stop attending.
That is correct, you are not obligated to make payment on the loans while in Deferment. You can stay in Deferment for up to 3 years.
