Subject: RE: Well, They Have Spoken... Or Have They?
I heard something interesting today on the radio. Turns out it's not legal for the electoral college to vote for a president and a vice president who are both from the same state. Turns out Cheney was from Texas until just this July, when he conveniently "moved" to Wyoming. I wonder if the framers meant for a person to "move" in the middle of a campaign when they drafted this provision of the constitution? Hmmm. Not that this will stop the Republican-controlled House of Representatives from accepting the votes of the Electoral College, even if they're unconstitutional, I don't suppose. Once it is confirmed, that is, that Jeb has indeed "won" Florida for his big brother. And it is increasingly clear that the Republican party will stop at nothing to ensure they win the Whitehouse in 2000.

(or is White House 2 words? I disremember)
