Do they address him as "Mr. President" (which I assume is the case), or is there a seperate military rank that he holds like 'Commander and Chief'? Thanks, it's for a novel, and I really have no idea, and couldn't find the answer.

It is sad....I'm afraid voters will simply go with the dems out of spite for the republicans. I am hoping Rudy has a fighting chance but I still have this nagging feeling that no one running as a Republican has a shot in hell no matter how good they could serve the country. What do you think?

We won Veitnam because we stuck with it and where persistant.
We would'nt have such good relations with them know if it was'nt for the good work of our troops in China.
This is why we should have a draft.
What say you?

When we were on the way in, the Iraq invasion was going to be the antithesis of the Viet Nam fiasco; Rumsfeld flatly declared "I don't do quagmires".

Now comes Bush to say that we can't pull out of Iraq because it would be as great a disaster as our pullout from Viet Nam was.

My question is this: how long does Bush think we should have stayed in Southeast Asia?

I seen that sickening story about the 5 year old had gas thrown on him and caught on fire. Just breaks your heart to see this crap and all the government is doing is pointing fingers at one another cause none of them have a clue.

I have somebody who keeps tagging my building with graffiti. I'd just love to catch these guys, so I'm thinking to put up some hidden cameras. I'd also like to put out a microphone or two, in hopes they might call each other by name.

My question is: Is it legal for me to record the conversation of these hoodlums without their knowledge? It sounds terribly stupid that I have to ask, considering they are breaking the law and damaging my property, but you know how the law protects the criminals now days.

I'd hate to get it all on tape, and then have some judge fine me for "violating their civil rights".

(Thanks a lot, ACLU.)

The Nazis were officially a Socialist party, which is an extreme left philosophy (they were anti-capitalism and Hilter did disarm the civilians). But they also had extreme right-wing (facist) beliefs. So why are they associated more with right-wing than the left? They had beliefs from both sides.

I saw some people pictures of people burning effigies during a protest, is this allowed in the USA? And what if I burned an effigy of a minority person based on their orientation or race, would that be considered at hate crime? What if it was of a politcal person I did not like, would that be legal? I don't think I actually want to do it because it seems ridiculous to me that anybody would want to act like that, I am curious about the laws regarding it though.

A woman is claiming she has had a child with my husband, and I want to know if she is able to list him on the birth certificate without proving he is the father. (He has admitted his affair, this was 9 months ago in fact, and I am just trying to find out if she can list him as the father without proof). Thank you for your answer, please tell me how you know the answer (if you have experience or whatnot). Thank you!

I live in Illinois, and have an unsecured loan with a ligitamite loan company. If the payment is more than two days late, they call me on the phone 3-5 time a day. I got mad and decided that they are the last bill that gets paid. The bill is two months late. Not only do they call everyday, but they have called my neighbor asking for me. They have recently sent me a letter that states that they are going to take me to court, and a summons will be issued soon. They want the whole amount of the loan, and all I want to do is make my damn payments. What options do I have? I do not want to file Chapter 13 or 7 Can I sue these people for harassment?

Article 2, section 2, clause 3 of the constitution says:

The President shall have power to fill up all Vacancies that may HAPPEN DURING the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.




If the vacancy was there before the Senate goes on recess, it is illegal for the president to make the recess appointment.
