Clinton Crucial to Gore's Future

WASHINGTON (AP) -- If President Clinton should resign or be removed from office,
the timing would affect the number of years that Al Gore would be eligible to serve as his
successor.

Under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, if Vice President Gore succeeds Clinton
before Jan. 20, 1999, he could run as the incumbent president in 2000 but not again in
2004.

But if Gore is installed in the presidency after Jan. 20, 1999, he could run in 2000 and
again in 2004.

The effect of the amendment, ratified in 1951, is that no president can hold office for more
than 10 years.

It says: ''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.''
