Strange, but Hannibal Lecter borrows Cleaver's parable at one point in
_the Silence of the Lambs_. A rather eclectic fellow, the good
doctor. An excellent example of the "rogue" SubG.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, June 2, p. 19, from "What if
Congress is the Kingmaker?" by Charles O. Jones, professor of political
science at University of Wisconsin-Madison:
[The article is about a split electoral college making the vote go to the
Congress...]
"What if no presidential candidate receives a majority of states in the House
before Jan. 20, 1993? Then, under the 20th Amendment, the vice
president-elect would assume the office until a president has been chosen."
[...]
"* Should Mr. Clinton run third in the Electoral College, yet be elected in
the House due to the fact that a majority of state delegations are expected to
be Democratic, his vice presidential candidate would not be eligible for
election by the Senate (because, remember, the Senate chooses between only the
top two veep candidates). Either Mr. Quayle or Perot's vice-presidential
candidate would be elected to serve in the Clinton administration!
* Should no candidate receive a majority in the House and should the
Republicans recapture control of the Senate, Quayle would be chosen to serve
as vice president (presuming Mr. Bush did not run third in the Electoral
College) and he would then become acting president on Jan. 20."
[...]
Happy voting!
Eric
