Study: Many of Nation’s Problems Could Be Solved by Having a President (Andy Borowitz - The New Yorker)

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A controversial new study suggests that the United States of America could benefit from having a President.


The study has raised eyebrows by claiming that a President could be helpful in unifying a country and, in a best-case scenario, providing moral leadership.


“At a time of crisis, a President could be a galvanizing figure who leads a country to a better future,” the study theorizes. “He or she could bring a nation together rather than tear it apart.”


In one of the study’s most radical proposals, it argues that a so-called Justice Department could include an Attorney General appointed by the President to uphold the rule of law.


“Additionally, a President, by scrupulously obeying the law himself, could set an example for the rest of the country,” the study claims. “As improbable as it might seem, citizens would look to the President as someone to admire and emulate in their daily lives.”


While many in the United States remain resistant to the concept of having a President, the study says that desperate times may lead them to consider such an unorthodox measure.


“We have ample evidence of what happens when a country does not have a President,” the study concludes. “It’s a shit show.”

I'm not sure I'm following what you're saying. I mean what you're saying seems to be what we're supposed to have,(emphasis on "supposed to have") the way things should be. This past almost 4 years reminds me of the season of Dallas that never was, just a bad dream. Then things picked up and went back to normal and resumed where the season prior left off. Is that what you're getting at? If so I hope we get to see more of Patrick Duffy in the shower this coming November.

That's really leftist thinking: a president who actually leads the country. I suppose you would also like one to be honest, morally fit, and advocates for all Americans and not the 1% and dictators everywhere. I also suppose you don't want a whining drama queen who advocates drinking bleach as president. I also suppose you would want a president who holds up a bible to actually know the first three words of the bible as well as the names of the first and last chapters of the bible. Geez, donnie trump is a great president, just ask him or his lackeys.
