Did a little research. The only time a cabinet member has challenged the incumbent President was back in 1940. John Nance Garner had been Vice President under Franklin Roosevelt for 2 terms and disagreed with some of Roosevelt's later policies. Roosevelt unexpectedly decided to run for a 3rd term after Garner announced his candidacy. Roosevelt slaughtered Garner, who resigned as VP in 1941. Garner once described the Vice-Presidency as being "not worth a bucket of warm piss."
Hillary will wait until 2016 to run. But, it would sure shake things up if she threw her hat in the ring for 2012.
