CAN THEY DO THAT???!!!! :(

Unfortunately, yes.

When a Senate seat becomes vacant, the governor may appoint someone for a period of time (not sure about the length of this or any limits, per se, but read on...)

With Hiterly becoming SecState, her seat becomes vacant, and any New York resident can be appointed until a special election currently scheduled for early 2010. UOx42 lives in New York.

At least the folks in Westchester county would be happy - he'd be gone most of the time.

"Any" New York resident? Even an ex-prez? Even an IMPEACHED ex-prez???

Well, doesn't that just make my day.:(

You know, most normal ex-presidents would be content to stay in the shadow, rest on their laurels, etc. But then, Mr. Bill "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT ME!!!" Clinton is not a normal, rational human being.
