So you are buying into that old line.
No controlling legal authority?
I’m not buy it.
Can you imagine anyone in the Bush administration, either father or son, doing something like this.
Does the party mechanism encourage and discourage people to run or not run?
Of course!!
When that person is the President and they offer a direct inducement to do it; that is another matter entirely.
But between those points; where do things go over the line?
I don't know the answer to that....
