> I think the lid is going to blow on the Bush administration.

> I think the truth is going to come out about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g (Election 2000, 9/11, Iraq, energy meetings, Enron, all of it). Whether it happens before the elections or just after, it's going to happen.

> When it does, this nation is going to roil and boil with dissent, outrage, and possible anarchy. Our economy will collapse, and our friends around the world, those we have left, will drop us like a hot potato.

> As Europe, Asia, and the Saudis, are financing most of our debt right now, I expect them to call in their markers, and refuse further business, thus collapsing our economy.

> The nation will desperately need strong, and able leaders to pull us out of this mess, and because of the military implications, both domestic and foreign, caused by a collapse of BushCo, General Clark makes an obvious, and clear choice, to help restore calm and stability.

> To help restore trust and confidence in the U.S. government again, and to oversee steps to right what will be a collapsed economy, the nation will need to turn to a leader that can provide these things in spades. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present:

Vice-President William Jefferson Clinton

1. Bill Clinton can't serve as VP

he served two terms as president, makes him ineligible to be VP. VP has to be prepared to serve as president if the president dies or is incapacitated.

2. Well you just wilted my flower!!!

I thought I had read that he COULD serve as V.P. Oh well, if that is indeed the case, then President Clark can call on the Congress to immed. pass a bill allowing him to do so. Would that be possible vis-a-vis a congressional measure??

4. Perhaps Secretary of State?

VP is out.....

6. Hate to tell you different, but Bill Clinton can run

As Vice President. And should something happen to the President, Bill Clinton would be President again and it would be perfectly legal.

The Constitution clearly states "Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.


Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.

elected to the office of President. If he is the Vice President, he won't be elected as President.

3. William Jefferson Clinton is not allowed by law to run for VP

While He can serve another 2 years, he may not run in any election that if he wins could have him serve more than 2 years.

But I do like Clark/Hillary!
