62. MadHound, I respect that you've given this thought...

...but I think you're buying Bush's line about "I'm not on vacation, I'm working" hook, line, and sinker.

When he's in Crawford he has one option: to vacation there and do whatever minimal work a President does on vacation.

He does not have the option to regularly work there on the business of the American people.

Certainly nothing like 42% of the time.

The Constitution envisioned this danger and explicitly prohibited it from ever occurring.

That's what's at stake here. A "vacation" is something quite apart from "running the world on a workaday basis."
