Want to run for President?

Have you ever wanted to be the butt end of jokes for at least 4 years? Do you want people to know who you are from SNL? Have you ever wanted the chance to vomit into the lap of a foreign prime minister and then have that country make up a word after you? If you have ever wanted all this and more then here is your chance to: Run for PRESIDENT (of a simulation).

Anyone can run! Including Alex, because I decided that since none of us are 35, screw the rule that you have to be a natural-born citizen!

If you want to run, announce your candidacy here!

... I AM a natural-born citizen, Drew. I'm dual.

Having said that and been mean, why not? I'll run. I want to see what lame jokes people can make about me.

I think Alex would be better suited for the position of Guhv'na!

Sorry Alex, I was always under the impression you were born in the United Kingdom, hence the accent. My greatest apologies.

Hahaha I have totally just figured out who J-Mads is .
And it's okay Drew a ton of people think the same thing. They're always quite surprised to learn that I was born in Buffalo.

Hi Alex. Sorry the thrilling mystery of my identity could not be sustained any longer.

Well if I ran against you I could say you were a career politician.

Has Mr. Wachob formally announced his intention to run?

The only appropriate way to announce your candidacy for any office is by going on Jay Leno's show and saying you'll run, and right now Leno doesn't have a show.

I will give people until Tuesday to announce their candidacy if they fail to do so by then I will run

Oh and if two candidates are from the same state, they do so at their own risk in that they leave the third member of their state as the Senator and therefore the loser of the Presidential election must join the House

Damn it I've just remembered I'm leaving for England on Wednesday and returning next Friday/Saturday. I prolly shouldn't run unless somebody wants to pretend to be me and "defend my honour" so to speak.

I would like to formally announce my candidacy for President.

Ok, does anyone want to challenge this before we make official that Luke Wachob will be challenging Alex Clifton for President?

Hmmm it would be annoying if I ran because then there would be two Lukes running... however at this time I would like to be the one creating bills, not waiting to sign them.

I'll get all my speechy-campaigny stuff down here because I won't be able to.

VOTE FOR ALEX...
because J-Mads is a career politician.
because she protects those who need protecting, like the elderly, children and animals. So the next time you see your granny, your nephew or your pet llama Pierre, you know who's got their collective backsides.
because she'll fight to get things done.
because she makes good chocolate chip cookies and mix CDs (not that she's bribing you or anything, but...).
because she's an English major, so she can speak using fancy rhetoric but also tell you in plain English what is going on, so you don't feel so confused about what's going on in Washington.
because Luke is occasionally sexist.
and finally, because she stands for what she believes is right.
Vote for Cliffy, she's so spiffy.

VOTE FOR LUKE...
if you actually want a president that will be available from the period starting tomorrow Saturday August 15.
Vote for Wachob, he's not a wackjob.

When do I make a speech? I need to plan that out...

At any time

By the way, the election for President has started. All threads relating to the government simulation are henceforth being moved to the All Section

Oh, and Alex, the sim will start in approx. a week and a half

omg yay thanks
