Clinton Won’t Resign, Unless …

President Clinton responded with a smile and a joke when asked Thursday if he might resign.

The question came from veteran columnist Sarah McClendon, who asserted that some legislators from the left and right were trying to push him out of office.

“Would you resign your office under any circumstances?” she asked, drawing laughter from administration supporters who had been invited to sit in for the news conference.

“Well, if you promise to run off with me I might,” Clinton responded, drawing even more laughter. “But otherwise, I can’t think of any reason.”
