Bill Clinton may become a caretaker president while America
resolves its constitutional crisis.
Constitutional experts say Mr Clinton could provide a lifeline
while disputed votes continue to be recounted.
It is expected the votes will put Gore ahead of George W Bush but
it is doubtful that the White House winner can be finalised by
the time the president is due to hand over power on January 20.
He may be appointed under the 20th amendment to the constitution
which states the US Congress could appoint an acting president to
serve if the ballot dispute is not resolved by inauguration day.
Professor James Fleming, of Fordham University, said: "I don't
think Bill Clinton has explicitly applied for the job, but he is
the most obvious choice for it."
The president has hinted that he would have run again this year
had he been allowed to, and is confident he would have won.
Republicans, who expected Mr Bush to be made president, say they
will fight the stunning reverse dealt by Florida's Supreme Court
which allowed the counting to go ahead.
The recount was halted over the weekend by the US Supreme Court
which is due to hear arguments from both sides.
The judges in Florida had cut Mr Bush's lead to 154 votes and
ordered the recounting of up to 45,000 ballots. The ballots are
those in which a presidential choice was not picked up by the
counting machines.
As the stalemate goes on The Daily Express claims the current
president may be asked to step in as a caretaker.

Hale said in private email to a list-member on 11/11/00 -
"...I would not be surprised at a slow move towards "avoiding
instability" as things work through the courts to sort the
election out. And that could lead to a temporary suspension of
certain amendments . . . I'd say about 15% chance of something
developing. Not likely, but certainly not farfetched."

10/3/00 - from WSJ "How will Clinton stay in power?" OT humor -
9. An extended Clinton term (37). Twenty-seven readers predicted
that Mr. Clinton would declare martial law or a state of
emergency and cancel the election -- a rather farfetched notion.
Others thought Mr. Clinton would ignore, reinterpret or seek
repeal of the 22nd Amendment limiting him to two terms.
