C-O-N-S-T-I-T-U-T-I-O-N-A-L Aspects of Impeachment





The Editor regrets that lack of space in the above map required the omission of several towns that would otherwise be included, as they have a legitimate claim to use all the letters in the word 'CONSTITUTIONAL'. 
Apologies are made to Conation List, Icon-to-Stalin, Static Onion L., and Anti-Colonist UT; Olio-Tuna-Tins CT; Tonic Outsail and Tulsa Coition TN; Slit-Into-Tuna CO;  Sunlit Cotton IA; Tuition Altos NC; Station Count IL; and other locales.
