<<"The solution is simple- Make it known that impeachment will pass the vote, if he's guilty (which I certainly believe) he will resign. If he's not guilty, he will let the senate try him" Can't see the logic in this statement?? E >>

If the house passes impeachment articles- Constitutional law says that he cannot EVER be pardoned for unlawful acts, by Gore or anyone else. If he wants to save his a** from future prosecution as a civilian, he will have to resign prior to impeachment passage (as Nixon did). If he's not guilty (Ho Ho), he should fight it in the senate trial.

One other possibility, is that he allows it to go to trial, assuming the senate will not convict- and hopes that a democratic president (Gore) is elected to replace him, and pardons him. I for one would not want to assume that.

Make sense?
