The problem with mixing absolute widths and relative widths

Without box-sizing attribute

Excerpts from Richard Nixon,
Press Conference, Nov 7, 1962

Good morning, gentlemen...[N]ow that all the members of the press are so delighted that I have lost, I'd like to make a statement of my own.

The last play. I leave you gentlemen now and you now write it. You will interpret it. That's your right. But as I leave you I want you to know- just think how much you're going to be missing.

You won't have Nixon to kick around any more, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference and it will be one in which I have welcomed the opportunity to test wits with you. I have always respected you. I have sometimes disagreed with you.
