Well it looks like Bob Dole is now anti constitutional folks .... mmmm (COMTEX) B: Dole calls for joint resolution to avert impeachment B: Dole calls for joint resolution to avert impeachment WASHINGTON, Dec 15 (AFP) - Former Senate leader Bob Dole called Tuesday for a joint resolution of Congress to censure President Bill Clinton, saying it would allow the nation to "clear the decks and move forward." The resolution would contain the "guts of all articles of impeachment" but would bypass a trial in the Senate, the former Republican senator wrote in the New York Times. Republican leaders, the president, vice president and Democratic congressional leaders would all have to publicly and actively support the resolution for it to work, said Dole, who lost the 1996 presidential election to Clinton. Clinton would have to voluntarily agree to any penalties imposed, which could "include provisions relating to the president's legal obligations upon leaving office," Dole added. "I believe the suggestions could lead to a fairly broad bipartisan result," Dole said, and put an end to impeachment proceedings by January 2. Such a resolution would "demonstrate to the vast majority of Americans that Republican congressional leaders will fulfill their constitutional responsibilities, clear the decks and move forward" when a new Congress convenes on January 6, he said. smb/rl * end of story *
