Apr Independent candidate Ross Perot has barged in on the presidential primaries gaining write in votes among both democrats and republicans As Bill Clinton and president Bush both won easily in Oregon and Washington. The size of Perot a write in vote Wasny to Clear but the message was the third Man in the race is Likely to be a problem for both major party candidates. And with eight primaries to go including the grand finale in California and five other states on june 2, the write in idea could spread into a new sort of protest vote.

In Washington with nearly All precincts reporting Clinton had 51 percent to Browne a 29 percent. But that primary was just for show it did not bind the 71 Washington delegates who Are being apportioned in caucuses and conventions. Clinton was winning 29 delegates in Oregon. That pushed his count to 1,855.5 of the 2,145 he needs for nomination with nobody close. Brown was winning 18 delegates but he a too far behind to have a Chance any More.

Perot Senate oks pay amendment even though it did t matter Washington apr although its already the Law of the land the Senate voted wednesday to add its Blessing to the 27th amendment to the Constitution ending Congress ability to vote itself a midterm pay raise. Without debate the Senate gave 99-0 approval to a Resolution declaring its assent to the amendment which dictates that no pay raise voted by Congress May take effect until after the next congressional election. The House debated the matter tuesday but held off voting until late wednesday. The amendment written by founding father James Madison was among the first Ever sent to the states by the very first Congress in 1789. But unlike the quickly ratified Bill of rights it languished without ratification until Michigan put it Over the top earlier this month and some have questioned its Validity because of the extraordinary time involved. The amendment became official when it was published in tuesdays Federal Register by Don w. Wilson archivist of the United states. House speaker Thomas s. Foley d-wash., said congressional action was being taken to dispel any impression left by the news Media that Congress is opposed to the amendment. A that ought to be clarified one said.

A by going through the motions of approving it Congress might be understood by some to be implying that it might also have the authority to say no a to some future ratified constitutional amendment said professor Laurence tribe of Harvard University Law school in Cambridge mass. A a there a no basis whatever for that kind of congressional assertion of Power a he said. The new amendment states simply a no Law varying the compensation for the services of the senators and representatives shall take effect until an election of representatives shall have  Maryland became the first state to ratify the amendment soon after that first Congress forwarded it without a deadline. Since then 39 other states have followed suit. Michigan became the 38th state to ratify on May 7, pushing the amendment Over the required three fourths of the Stales. In the Senate Robert c. Byrd d-w.va., also put Forward a separate Resolution that would kill off four other Long pending proposed amendments which have not collected enough state ratifications.
