1. Kick it.

Mike is right on about this.
And we have a long history of doing this.
And it seems the president is just a clerk in these matters...takes care of the paperwork to make it all look legitimate.

5. A very interesting concept, POTUS is COTUS- Clerk of the US. In matters like this perhaps...
