Ok, in the first example, are you saying it is possible to power a gfci and   
   for it to work, just that the GFCI portion will not work on the outlet as   
   intended?   
      
   I appreciate it!

   wire, and a ground. When    
   checking with a voltmeter, the white wire on both switches always has power.   
   Each black wire only has power when the switch is turned on. I am assuming the   
   white wire is the power wire. Can I take these white wires off the switches,   
   connect them to the    
   top and bottom "hot" terminal on the gfi outlet, then feed the switches from   
   both terminals on the other side of the gfi? When I did this messing around   
   with the switches, everything worked properly. I just thought that the black   
   wire was always the    
   constant power wire.
