I recieved this email from my ex-daughter-in-law today. I still feel a bit queezy...

quote:
Last night I had a terrifying nightmare. It was so real, so life-like and so vivid I woke up in a cold sweat. Let me describe it to you briefly...

1. Hillary wins the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States

2. Naturally, she wants to choose as her running mate someone with a lot of knowledge and experience in government and foreign affairs, someone who is a seasoned campaigner who could bring a lot of strength to the ticket. Who better than Bill, her husband?

3. Hill and Bill go on to win the election in November and the Democrats maintain control of the House and the Senate.

4. Hillary is sworn in as President on January 20, 2009. The next day, after all the inauguration parties are over, she calls a press conference to make an announcement: she is resigning as President!!! Bill, as the Vice President, immediately becomes President!!! This is all perfectly legal under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution; for it states that "no person may be elected as president more than twice". Bill is not being elected for a third term but is merely serving out the remainder of Hillary's term---all 4 years of it.

5. But wait! There's more! The following day Bill calls a press conference to make an announcement. He has chosen someone to fill the now-vacant office of Vice President. Guess who he picks? Why, Hillary, of course!!! So she can run for two more terms.

Please forward this e-mail to all of your Republican friends..... and to as many others as you wish to cause sleepless nights...

Now that sure would be a "nightmare" alright. Pretty terrifying indeed. Let's hope it was a "dream" and not a "premonition".

I think we need a new amendment!

I'm pretty sure that is just a nightmare. I think that after JFK chose his brother as Attorney General and it became apparent that a family could, if they chose, run the entire government, there was something (ammendment, law, etc.) that was put in place to prevent Presidents from having running mates, cabinet appointees, etc. who are related to or married to them. Now you've got me curious. I'll have to do a search and talk to my sister, who is a political scientist.

Quite a thought, as nightmares go, - but IF THEY tried that, the backlash/out-cry would stagger the imagination. They wouldn't be able to accomplish anything except creating a new way to impeach them, - both. ;)
