"Bush bypasses Senate to install neo-con at UN":GUARDIAN'S Headline
Bush bypasses Senate to install neo-con at UN

James Sturcke and agencies
Monday August 1, 2005

The US president, George Bush, today bypassed the senate and installed the controversial neo-conservative John Bolton as ambassador to the UN.

Mr Bush took advantage of his power to fill vacancies without senate approval while Congress is in recess. Under the constitution, Mr Bolton's recess appointment during the senators' August break will last until the next session of Congress, which begins in January 2007.

I like the way the GUARDIAN puts it. Install is the right word.

6. Thanks NY99--happy to here!
Have been lurking for several months, but my former 6-year-old computer made it too troublesome to post. Now with WindowsXP, a Celeron 2.4, and broadband, I can get a word in now and then. DU rocks! :yourock:
