What If The President Had To Do An Exit Interview?

HR Rep: Mr. President. As you know, all government employees are required to do an exit interview before leaving. This includes elected officials.

Bush: What? I was elected? I thought Barrack won.

HR Rep: No Mr. President. You didn't run. You're only allowed two terms as President and you've served your eight years. We need to do an exit interview with you.

Bush: Okay, which is it? Two or eight? First you said two, then you said eight. Stop trying to confuse me with numbers. You know I don't like numbers.

HR Rep: (sighs audibly) Yes sir.

Bush: So Barrack won?

HR Rep: Yes sir, I'm afraid he did. Now, may we please get back to...

Bush: So I wasn't elected?

HR Rep: No sir. You didn't even run.

Bush: Are you shittin me? I didn't run? Why not? I would have kicked his ass.

HR Rep: I'm sure you would have sir but you weren't allowed to run. So about this exit interview...

Bush: Why wasn't I allowed to run?

HR Rep: Well sir you already served... ummm.. well, it's the law Mr. President. You just couldn't.

Bush: Well hell, I should have vetoed that law. Is it too late to veto it? I'm the pres, i can do that right?

HR Rep: Actually sir it's part of the Constitution. The twenty-second amendment. Passed in 1947 and ratified in 1951.

Bush: Yea, probably too late to veto that sucker now. I guess those damned Democrats slipped one through on us. But hells bells, I never paid any attention to the Constitution before, why start now? We need to hold the elections again. I need to run. McCain effed it all up.

HR Rep: Yes sir.

Bush: Why are you here again?

HR Rep: It wasn't important sir. I'll come back later. Probably on January 21.

Bush: Good idea. Send Cheney in on your way out. I need to run this election do-over thingy past him, see what he thinks.

HR Rep: Yes Mr. President.
