THE EVENT: George Bush II has asked Congress to declare war on Iraq.

Few times in the history of the United States has a person been elect- ed to the office of the President without the popular vote. Only twice has a person inhabited the White House who wasn’t elected president. The first case was the appointment of Rutherford Hayes to act as president in the 1876 election. In that case, the Democrats had nominated Samuel Tilden and the Republicans Rutherford Hayes. When the election results had been tal- lied, Tilden won the popular vote by 250,000 votes. However, a series of problems with the electoral votes in several states prohibited a winner from being announced. The U.S. Congress passed a law which established a 15-member com- Don’t blame the Bush mission to determine which electoral votes were proper.
