Elmer,

He said, "I am in charge here at the White House, pending the return of the Vice President"

Haig was never in charge of the Whitehouse, even for one second. Suppose the VP's plane would have crashed?

The writers of the Constitution made quite clear what the chain of command is, and Al Haig was nowhere on that list.

AUSTIN, TEXAS -- Bush needed a tax cut to take on his presidential road show. It didn't matter that nobody in Texas had asked for a tax cut. "I have not had a single call from somebody saying 'I want you to cut my property taxes.' Not a one," Representative Toby Goodman, R-Arlington, commented in May 1999. Recent public opinion polls show that Texans favor, by a greater than 10-to-1 margin, the state surplus being spent on schools and teachers.
Senate Republicans proposed taking $250 million out of kindergarten and pre kindergarten, and remedial programs for ninth graders.

Elmer,

Myth of the Education Governor
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- Teacher pay during the first Bush term fell from 36th to 38th in national rankings. Overall teachers compensation fell to 51st. All this while Texas has been awash in funds from a strong economy.

"Texas had a real chance to bring teachers' salaries to the national average," stated Louis Malfaro of the Texas Federation of Teachers, "but George Bush was the spoiler. He was more interested in looking good for the presidential race and needed the money so he could boast about a tax cut." But nobody asked for a tax cut.
