OT: Impeaching the president with no gore

If this bothers you, then see the solution that Gingrich has already figured out, and, according to my agents in Georgia, for which he has been gathering support.

1. The Starr Report is presented to the House and recommends impeachment for perjury, obstruction of justice, premature ejaculation, premature withdrawal, onanism, soiling the carpet, and other high times and misdemeanors.
2. The house studies this report vigorously, especially the security camera tapes of the oval office.
3. Meanwhile, the special prosecutor selected to investigate Vice President Gore carries out an investigation in record time, and recommends impeachment of Vice-President Gore on grounds of monkeying around with nuns, levitation, and stiffing the government for long-distance telephone calls.
4. The House immediately impeaches Gore and Clinton.
5. The Senate quickly convicts Gore, and he is expelled from office. President Clinton immediately nominates a replacement, but the House does not act on the nomination until the Senate has convicted Clinton, who is expelled from office.
6. With vacancies in the offices of president and vice president, the Speaker, under the provisions of USC Title 3, Sec. 19(a), on resigning from the house and the speakership becomes the acting president for the balance of the term.
7. A few uprisings can be expected, especially among the poor, nasty, homeless, and despised, but these can quickly be put down. Judge Thomas and Chief Justice Rehnquist can ride among the rioters and explain that everything was done in strictly constitutional style.
