President Barack Obama has decided to appoint himself to replace Justice Souter on the U. S. Supreme court. And, he will also remain President of the United States.
Well, why not? The guy's got game and an irresistible passion for challenges. However, when pointed out that the Executive and the Judicial branches of government are suppose to remain separate as dictated in the Constitution, say like football and tennis, (no one plays football on a tennis court and visa versa) the President tapped Michelle Obama, (a lawyer) to write a judicial opinion that amounted to: No problem. The president can simultaneously work in both positions even though they are separate branches of government.
Speaking through a clenched jaw, former vice president Dick Cheney immediately took issue with the merging of two branches of government, suggesting that the President should take a deferment from the White House if he wanted to appointed himself to the Supreme Court.
Replying, though Cheney was an expert at negotiating deferments, (with five under his belt, thus skipping military service during the Vietnam war) the President had won his election and could appoint anyone to the Supreme Court. He also had the legal authority and approval to remain President, as written by Michelle Obama.
Steam was seen to emerge from Cheney's ears; his yellow cowboy hat elevating up and down above his head. Someone hollered that Cheney was about to blow a gasket. Instead, a shirt button flew across the room.
Catching the button with one hand, President Obama managed his Dudley-Do-Right profile and continued: If the Bush administration could get an appointed staff attorney to right an opinion pronouncing torture or enhanced interrogation techniques as legal for the Bush administration to use, he could ask his attorney, Michelle, to do the same thing. "It's a slam dunk sort of thing."
The yellow cowboy hat launched into space, zipping pass the Hubble telescope, the International Space Station and last viewed headed toward another galaxy.
"Our enemies will view us as weak."
"We aren't motivated by our enemies. This is America. How about a game of hoops?"
