Did Bush break the law in his White House address to the RNC?
Just wondering: was George Bush's address to the RNC from the White House illegal?
A fact page by the Office of Special Council says:
"The Hatch Act restricts the political activity of executive branch employees of the federal government...These federal and D.C. employees may not...engage in political activity while...in a government office."
Is Bush an executive branch employee?
If not, is there some other law that enjoins him from using the White House as a prop in a speech at a party convention?
