No, thanks, I appreciate it. I'd love to know more about the controversy over his fitness for office in light of his adultery. I also understood that he initially lied about it, and made some use of his office to do so, but that is at least third hand. Haven't found much about THIS aspect of Hamilton's life on the net, but my search was fairly brief. I don't think the standards the framers might have applied should be directly and completely translated to our times. Just the sense of necessary magnitude and general characteristics of an offense for which impeachment of a President is appropriate. E.g., killing a man in a duel was considered honorable at the time of the Revolution, as long as the form was properly followed. Our justice system would certainly take a different view today. Doug
