How President Nav Resign

A President or vkce president OF
the United States may resign by
signing a written statement of resig
nation and forwarding it to the state
department, not TO the legislative or
judicial branch of the government.
This procedure is set forth in
federal law adopted in 1892 and still
in effect. The law says in part "A
resignation of the office of President
or vice president shall be an instru-
ment in writing declaring the same
and delivered into the office
of the secretary of state" No Pres
ident has ever resigned. but one
vice president has, John c. Calhoun,
of South Carolina. He quit the vice
presidency in 1882 to become a SEN
atOr.

Sleeping Alone

Every person. young or old, sleeps
best when he sleeps in a bed of his
own. according to some authorities.
People move many times during
their sleep and each move disturbs
the rest of the other person. When
two people share the same bed, they
should get upwards of an hour more
sleep.
