Who Should Be President Right Now?

[PhilliesDeacs]

Through some sort of weird space-time hiccup, you are granted the power of anointing the President and VP, effective immediately. None of the current restrictions (birth status, term limits, age, etc) apply. Who do you choose?

I'm thinking Bill Clinton as POTUS, with Elizabeth Warren as his VP. But there are plenty of other options to consider.

Living or dead?

I remember leading up to the election that a few journalists were making the case that Obama should let Hillary take the nomination and run in 2016. Interesting idea from a political strategy standpoint.

Henry George

Theodore Roosevelt

Torn between whether Elizabeth Warren should be POTUS or if I just wish she was my grandmother

Yeah. Interesting.

I was thinking living, just to limit the scope. Otherwise Lincoln/FDR would be an obvious choice.

Then I'm going Slick Willy/Smilin Joe

Your suggestion is very interesting to me, W&B. To my knowledge, we have never met in person, but I have always perceived you from your posts as being kind of a cross between John Lennon and George Carlin.

I could go for JFK circa 1963 (with the experience gained from the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc. under his belt)

probably obama? he did win the election after all.

ETA: If you wanted a bi-partisan ticket, you could do a lot worse than Bill Clinton/George H W Bush.

+1

Was Reagan living when he was president? Sometimes it was hard to tell.
