I'm not going to try to justify this, but, yes, there is a version of
Clinton's name that is coded as geographic in the LoC authority record.
(Not a "see" reference, however, but a "see also" reference.) Regardless
of whether you think our name practices are insane (and I would not want
to have to defend them), the fact is that MADS will need to accommodate
them. (No, I don't know if the "see" references will always be of the
same type -- but I wouldn't bet on it.)

Here's the record in its print form:
