mLine 1:
Line 1: − + − The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of state]] of the [[United States of America]] the President is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, in [[England]], was and is filled by the office of the [[Prime Minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|Monarch]]. At that time, the Monarchy of England did not seem to serve the common man and the Founders wanted to create a [[government]] that did. − ==Current President== − The current President is [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. He took office on January 20, 2009. His predecessor was [[George W. Bush|George Walker Bush]]. − ==Election== − The President is selected every four years by the American people, although not through a [[popular vote]] but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the Presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly, and it was intended to do so by the [[Founding Fathers]]. − ==Term Limits==+ − After [[Franklin Roosevelt]] served a little over twelve years in office, [[Congress]] passed a [[Constitutional Amendment]] restricting future Presidents to two terms. + − However if the Vice President succeeds to the Presidency, with no more than two years left in the prior President's term, he is allowed to run for two terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years. + − + + + + + + + + + + + − ==See Also==+ − + + + + + + + + − + + + + + + + + + + − {| class="wikitable"+ − |-+ − !President+ − !Years+ − !State+ − !Party+ − !Vice President(s)+ − |-+ − |1.

{{Q|I should have this job too.|Oscar Wilde|being President|}}
The first President to whom term limits applied was [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]].
{{Wikipedia}}
*1. A point of occupation when one's purpose and source of income is representing pure evil. Not being evil, per se, but it does help.
*2. A tequilla, if you add "ay" at the end, i.e. "President-ay".
*3. A topic of second importance, i.e. "The budget takes president, but increasing ICBM's comes first."
*4. Your daily source of reality tv show.
*5. Generally not women, unless one has special powers by way of [[Hillary Clinton|wearing the pants]] in a relationship with a former President.
*6. Not 299,999,999 Americans at any given time.
*7. The opposite of absinthe, poorly spoken.
*8. Definitely not black or Italian people (except for the Obama guy now)
*9. Soon-to-be Micheal Jackson (Only he will now be President of the afterlife).
*10. Not to be confused with <i>Pepsodent</i>, a product having to do with good things and the mouth, and thus an antonym.
Presidents have different powers in different countries.
[[Vice President of the United States of America]]
*George Bush is widely regarded as the greatest comedian in the history of mankind. This is despite the fact he's never attempted to tell a joke in his life. Theory is he acquired this power during one of his weekly tee times with God, trading it for his ability to pronounce nuclear. It should also be noted God has never mispronounced nuclear since.
*It's a little known fact that Abraham Lincoln, or "The Emancipator", is in fact the greatest boxer ever. During a particularly heated moment in the Stephen Douglas debate, Douglas attempted to start a fistfight. This is widely regarded as the dumbest decision a presidential canidate has ever made, with the exception of Howard Dean's infamous speech "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The Debate resumed two days later, after hours of delicate surgery had removed Douglas's teeth from his brain. Sadly, the remainder of the debate consisted of Douglas randomnly shouting "MEATLOAF!", and slamming his fist onto his podium like a [[ginger]] giving birth to a [[llama]].
*In France, the president is the head of state, so he must constant argue with and stonewall the head of government, namely the [[Prime Minister]]. If this doesn't take place, people begin to question if anything gets done, and no one wants that, ain't it so?
*In Finland, the President is not a person, but in fact a two dimensional fictional character named "Moominmamma". There is currently a great debate involving most of Finlands political recources going on about why this is.
*In Norway, the president is an turnip named Erik Thorstvedt, who adopted a heriditary Rule in Stavanger, and was appointed by the power of the selfruled country Bergen.
*In Germany, the President is [[Hitler]].
*In Sweden the president is a small radio company that invented Ikea.

A President is someone who has the power to rape every rule and law (including grammar laws)in the book, and make up new ones as he or she goes along(see [[Dub-Ya]] for more info). He is also a feuckin bitch who is GAY. A President can also pass votes that, though perhaps not directly, may cause suicidal behaviour in pregnant teenage males. Some Presidents are more powerful than others. (this following is information regarding the United States)The United States President, for example, has power over most of the world(see Team America World Police on Wikipedia for more info). While the U.S.s official turf encompasses everything south of Canada and north of Mexico(plus Alaska and Hawaii), they are moving in on Afghanistan and more importantly Iraq, both of whom have many valuable natural resources(opium, oil, cannabis, hashish, oil, lots more oil and opium, see Mike Toreno for details). The US is considered by many to be one of the most ruthless crews this side of Earth. Their colors are Red, White, and Blue, resembling Native Americans(red) who were killed and their bodies turned cold and strange-colored(blue) by mostly white people(white). While a less-organized but more-famous method of smokin' motherfeuckaz was just to invade and accidentally shoot as many civis as possible, a method that is becoming increasingly popular is to break into someone's house and stuff hundreds of sleeping pills in their mouths, thus O.D.ing them(see Dub-Ya's book, titled "Dope-A(A symbolizing I)-Mean, Uh..." for details on how to avoid an overdose). Back to the Presidency. Being President means all your Capos(see Government Staff for details) kick up directly to you, and then you give a percentage to the guy who really call's the shots(see Cick&Dheney Contract Hitz.org for info). Also, if a certain business refuses to pay their "protection tax" to you, you have the bribe money to call the Po-Lease(see Racist for more info) and have them locked up for years.

===To Become President You Must:===
*Defeat the current President in hand-to-hand [[combat]].
* Master the art of "us" and "them"
* Never get caught in your Tinkie Winkie suit.
* Be man enough to give Ted Kennedy a [[reach-around]].
* Be "fo rizzle"
* Smoke marijuana, but never inhale.
* Decide to attack another country for no apparent reason.
* Have a "deeply concerned" face, a "quietly pondering" face, and a "confident incompetent" face. Nothing that comes forth from your lips is particularly considered relevant.
* Expand the American Empire in some way, past examples of this are:
# George Washington: Illegally stole the Eastern Coast of North America from the brits.
# John Adams: Invaded Florida and drove off the Spanish.
# Ben Franklin: Created the state of Franklin from land legally stolen from the natives.
# Churchill: Took the glorious Midwest from the Canadan Caliphite after World War 1 1/2.
# Ma and Pa: Incorporated the great prarie, one boring book at a time.
# Old Abe: Took over half of Mexico to make up for the loss of the Confederate States of America.
# Teddy Bear Rossevelt: Took Puerto Rico from Spain because we wanted a limbo place that wasn't a state nor a territory so we could torture our victims legally.
# George Bush Sr.: Took over Kuwait in the name of 'world peace'.
# Bill Clinton: Kidnapped a bunch of Iranian babes to rub baby oil into his back on the weekends.
# George Bush Jr.: Took over Iraq, Afghanidom and Hippieland from the Canadians 'cause we hate Canada. and hired [[ xangu the clown ]]
# Hillary Clinton: Is so sure of election, has already moved into oval office and took the rest of Canada.
# Harry Truman: Kill a whole mess o' Japs... er... wait... how did that expand America? Ah, who cares... f***ing Japs...
* Be, know, or stand near Steve Severance.
*As of 2008 be black or a Woman
