Will there someday be a ruler of the forum? Someone who we elect and vote for? If so, he or she WILL be able to declare war.

More importantly, will he retain the power to mount military expeditions absent a formal declaration of war?

As I recall, Bob, that was a couple years ago -- all the nominees dropped out of the race except for David Bowles, but then the election never actually happened. Someone suggested it a year ago, and there seemed to be concensus that it still wasn't a good idea.
My mom asked how y'all are doing. She's really excited that you have a new baby. She really loved meeting Mooselet at Sambo's.

More nominees might stay in the race if that whole "Kama wants to be the President's wife" bit got around.

Yeah, everyone should start nominating people. I would like to hear speeches about how they would be the best president.

Shouldn't we come up with a list of qualifications? How about length of time on Hatrack? What do we want in a president?

Oh yeah, survivor. We could vote people out of the forum! Well....no we couldn't....I nominate you for president, Tom.

Sorry. I've already turned down three such nominations. I prefer to rule from the shadows, as head of the Liberal Cabal (tm).

I think we should have a primary between Thor, Baldar and Cedrios. That'd be the closest to real life, after all.

Everyone knew it was a Liberal Cabal (tm)! But no one knew it was a SECRET Liberal Cabal (tm) until you told them! *grumble*

And didn't we stage a coup against Tom already? Did I miss it? I swear it was on the calendar. *looks at calendar* Oh dear. I missed the coup. This is what happens when you don't have internet at home.
As Bob's self described prodigee, I get to be VP and don't do anything but hold secret meeting with oil companies and take Supreme Court Justices to all expense paid weekends when my cases are in front of them. Oh, and my old company gets lots of no-bid Forum contracts.
So, Yes. Bob for Pres, a Lavalamp in every house.

Zgator, its not good to make fun of a person's handicaps. So Bob is cranially challenged. That doesn't mean he can't be president of this Forum.
Lack of a head on ones shoulders has never stopped a politician before. (In fact, it might have helped Clinton's career) I don't think we need to let it stop Bob.
