In Honor of National Zombie Day: October 8, 2011
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Well, I don’t find any of the current GOP contenders very compelling so I’d be glad to vote for Reagan.
BUT isn’t he ineligible under the 22nd Amendment? I suppose a lawyer (which I am not) might claim that the zombie is a different person (entity?) than the original RR to get around that. In which case how old is he/it? Surely not thirty-five?
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
I would argue Thomas, with a very straight face since we lawyers are good at that sort of thing, that the amendment was not applicable since Zombie Reagan was not a person. Then if his political adversaries succeeded in proving before the Supreme Court that Zombie Reagan was a person, I would use the precedent in a full frontal assault on Roe!
The resurrected Reagan sounds so much more articulate than the others.
“National Zombie Day” was first celebrated on election day 1976 and it was resurrected election day 2008.
Now, I remember why I sleep with a khukri under my pillow, and my wife between me and the door.
