What if Clinton (Bill) had done the honorable thing, and resigned as President? Al Gore would have run as an incumbent, and without the millstone of Clinton and his conduct hanging around his neck.

The likelihood is he would have been elected, without any need for the court issues, George Bush would have faded into history, and we would have a very different world indeed.
