19680: Hess: Aristide to USA and constitution on exile (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: DougRHess@aol.com

A few questions:

1) If Baby Doc is in the US, it's hard to believe the US could last long
refusing Aristide permission to live here. Is the Black Caucus working towards
this and is that what Aristide wants?

2) Also, doesn't the Haitian Constitution forbid exile as an act by the
state? I mean, there's no legal grounds on which the state can try to keep Aristide
out. Correct?

3) What does the Prime Minister say about the resignation letter? Would
anybody else in Aristide's cabinet rejoin him if he's claiming to be the President?
