My apologies for my ignorance, you see sir, I live in Alaska and do not have cable (by choice) so I don't watch C-Span.

I should have known that everything becomes a part of the record, yet I thought this was a rather unusual event having only occured twice in our history.

Again, being a special, rare event, I thought that there might be special rules and regulations invovled in the removal of an elected official from his seat. Basically saying to that group of citizens that they no longer have representation in the house.

As for daschle, I know full well that he runs the Senate and not the House. I also know that the GOP runs the house. My thoughts are in regards to the democratic party, of which daschle is a proud member and one of its recognized leaders. A man who has ralled his troops time and again, blocking legislation, impeachments and Lord knows what else. I think we can both agree that daschle power extends beyond the door of Senate.

All that said, I agree with you that I need to educate myself more on all of these matters and more. One of the reasons I spend so much time on this board is the ideas and thoughts presented here. Might I also suggest some reading for you. I know there are several books on civility and manners available, which might provide some guidelines for you.

I'm 71 years old, and have been through a lot of this crap. I sincerely doubt that you could mention a book or series of books (or a library, for that matter) that would change me at this point. Thanks for the try, however.

FYI Jackbill did some very good work during the Elian fiasco.
