jlallen, I took your advice and posted it up over there as well. I had a suspiscion that the Clintons did this initially (Filegate) in order to give themselves a "freer" hand with all of their corruption and misdeeds. I understand that the travel office firings are tied into this as well, but I am not sure how it fits yet. Through Reno, they are still trying to get Ken Starr fired. They think it would end some of the "potential" litigation against them if he out of the way. Darrell

Starr, Constitution May Halt Mrs. Clinton London Times 6/8/99 Ben MacIntyre Hillary Clinton may face a series of legal hurdles as she explores a bid for the US Senate, including the unfinished investigations of the independent prosecutor, Kenneth Starr, and a clause in the Constitution that forbids holding "incompatible" offices. Mr Starr is winding up two investigations - into the Whitewater property deal and the "Travelgate" affair arising from the dismissal of White House travel staff - and his final report could implicate the First Lady just as she is gearing up to run for the New York seat in the Senate. Mr Starr's office has drafted at least one indictment accusing Mrs Clinton of lying to federal investigators about her role in the Whitewater affair, The Washington Times reported yesterday. Mrs Clinton could also face a tricky constitutional problem. The Constitution holds that "no person holding any office under the United States shall be a member of either House during his continuance in office". If she is elected to the Senate, Mrs Clinton would become eligible to take office on January 3, 2001, but Mr Clinton's term as President, and thus Mrs Clinton's position as First Lady, does not expire until January 20, 2001.
