<<<Changes are made every year. Precident is binding both in our laws and in congressional rules.>>>>

Obviously, there is a semantic difference between you and I. Form takes shape in the WAY that the government operates not what it does from day to day.

<<<The undisputable changes are of course the various amendments to the constitution. Imagine how different things would be if the radicals knew they would face Clinton running for a third term.>>>

Yeah, King Bill, his dream come true.

<<<The change we are facing now is one of precidence over when a President will be removed from office.>>>

If he were removed from office, that would be a precedent. The method of removal would not. That's always been there.

The <insert code word> are attempting to have the president serve at the whim of the house.

Which is what was intended from the beginning in our FORM of government. Not the other way around.

<<<I have no doubt that if Clinton resigns they will try to hound Gore out of office to put that paragon of virtue Livingston in the White House.>>>

Dunce. Gore would immediately choose a Vice-President. The only way the Speaker of the House can become President is as the result of the death and/or deposition of both the President and the Vice-President. Congress can never in any circumstance put anyone in the Presidential office.
