>>"Although I understand at Microsoft they just use Snapple bottles or empty Starbucks coffee cups."<< My company issues chamber pots to all employees. They are stored under the desks and must be emptied during lunch hour or after working hours. The men don't seem to mind it.....they just stand up and pee while they are on the phone. The women on the other hand are not too happy about it, which is understandable. Jim

An overlooked 'high crime'? WorldNetDaily Monday, April 13, 1998 Joseph Farah First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton recently claimed "executive privilege" regarding certain White House activities, maintaining that she is employed as a "political adviser" to her spouse-in-chief. Previously, you may recall, Mrs. Clinton was employed by the president to head his ill-fated health-care commission. She is also said to be currently employed by President Clinton to head the White House's commission to study child care. There's one problem with all this, says an independent impeachment researcher in Northern California. Such employment of relatives -- including spouses -- by high-ranking members of the executive branch of government is strictly and specifically forbidden by law, Title 5 U.S.C. 3110, Employment of Relatives, to be precise. Ray Morton, an engineer from Mountain View, Calif., has been studying impeachable offenses by both the executive branch and Congress and thinks this "high crime" is one being overlooked by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr and members of the House of Representatives. "The facts of these seemingly unlawful, and possibly impeachable, employments were widely reported by the media and have been openly admitted by Bill and Hillary Clinton," says Morton. "'Employment,'" he adds, "does not require that the person employed be paid money -- they need only be used for certain kinds of activities." Morton also contends the secret meetings regarding health care conducted by Hillary Clinton should be investigated as violations of federal law. The Federal Advisory Committee Act, Title 5 U.S.C. Appendix II Sec. 10(a)(1), requires that such meetings be open to the public, that notice of meetings be published in the Federal Register and that minutes be maintained. "Hillary Clinton may, indeed, be continuing to violate this felony statute in having unannounced and closed-to-the-public meetings on child care," says Morton. He says complete and accurate minutes of all those public policy meetings, which are required by law, have never been provided to the public. Morton recently completed a book manuscript titled, "The Shame of a Nation," in which he chronicles 164 constitutional provisions broken by the president, 248 U.S. felony code violations and a mind-boggling total of 200,000 possible impeachable offenses, or counts. Morton's meticulous work on the issue led to a resolution in favor of impeachment of both Clinton and Vice President Al Gore being approved earlier this year by the California Republican Party Convention. He is searching for a publisher. "Since Bill and Hillary Clinton are both attorneys, they should know better and should know that, in a court of law, they will be held to a higher standard of compliance that that of an average person," says Morton. Morton has met recently with several House members of both parties, including Rep. Bobb Barr, author of House Resolution 304 -- An Inquiry of Impeachment of President William J. Clinton -- and expresses confidence that impeachment is inevitable. "Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment," a document prepared, ironically, by young legal-eagle Hillary Rodham for House committee members investigating the possibility of impeaching President Nixon, is a major component of Morton's study. The White House counsel's office declined to comment on the nepotism charges. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
