An interesting scenario, if what you’re saying is true, would be for the Senate to expel him and his constituents to vote him back in. Can the Senate exclude a duely elected person from even taking a seat? I’m supposing they can.
Yes, it’s a good move. No, wait, it’s a great move. Now, if Cheney would only shoot himself in the face with a hunting rifle, the year would be complete.
