Having either composed briefs or written published articles in both cases, I am curiouis as to what you are referring to. If you are referring to the Paula Jones case in particular Clinton seems to have lost on any issue even approaching what you mention. As to Bush v. Gore, the Constitution was upheld, the prescription of the state legislature mandated by the Constitution was upheld and I don’t see where any issue you seem to be intimating was decided there was even at issue. Can you explain?
in Jones V Bush, Jones was the plantiff who claimed Cheney was a citizen of Texas, not Wyoming. According to the 12th amendment, if both members of the ticket came from the same state, that ticket would have to forfeit all of their Electoral votes for that state. The federal courts ruled that Jones had no standing since Jones was not a candidate. It was a good ruling because it prevented Jones from usurping the electoral process.
