There's a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on "first felon president."
First Woman President
First Openly Gay President
First Asian/Pacific Islander President
First Albino President
First Teenage President
First Werewolf President
First Teenage Werewolf President
First Robot President
First Robot Teenage Werewolf President
First Normal President
We could go on and on too.
Try and start easy with an openly atheist president and work from there
Key word being "openly". Funny Trump's followers think he believes in God and isn't just pandering to them.
Yup that's why I put that word in there
I'm ready to serve.
Robot Teenage Werewolf President
Robot Teenage Werewolf President
Robot Teenage Werewolf President
Leader of the free world; Werewolf power!
He's the USA's most fearsome being.
He's a werewolf in a high school, and a teen.
With a magic talking resolute desk voiced by Maurice LaMarche as Dom DeLoise
Hey now, let's be realistic here.
i'm pretty sure theres a lower age limit for president so unfortunately Teenager, Werewolf teenager, and Robot teenage werewolf are out
Drats, we were so close.
Is Nixon available ?
Arooooo
Cruz looked like he had a shot in 2016
Women, Asian and Pacific islander people are all normal. I propose a woman like that who is normal, who multiracial and LGBT. Usually mommas know what is best for the kids. So why not the ultimate love momma? You mess with us and we'll f-u up. You work with us and we'll love you to pieces. So I propose momma bear. Even better if she's well educated with a medical PhD and...but I mean, why not a hotel maid? My mom was a hotel maid and she's got the best heart and mind you'll ever meet. Don't need a PhD to be president.
Wasn't that Palin's shtick?

Not holding our leaders to a higher standard is how we got here. I want my leader to be much smarter than me.
How about a young guy with truly progressive ideas? I find it hard to believe no one ever gains enough traction with social media the way it is, or maybe it's because social media is the way it is. Or maybe people like that just don't get into politics.
What are you, insane????
This is ridiculous! We will never have a teenage president because you have to be 35 to run. Proof the whole thing is rigged.
Off topic but I'm not ok with a robot president, because it would mean we made fully conscious robots, which is a recipe for disaster. We need to build flexible and smart tools without an ego, not an actually superior iron race.
The gnostics wouldn't accept any president. I'm expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.
This reminds me of one of those furries who always has to interject in any role playing situation that they're furries and their character is a furry despite nobody in the gaming session actually asking or encouraging that person.
Why?
The things you think that people care about are most often the things people care least about.
