An aide came to Donald.
“Sir, before you take office, I’ve been asked to explain a few things to
you.”
Donald snapped, “I’m in office, I was elected.”
“Sir, you aren’t actually president until you are sworn in on January 20th.”
“Where does it say that.”
“It’s the law, Sir. I’ve been asked to explain that, and this.” The aide lays out a copy of the Constitution.
Donald explodes, “What the hell is that? That’s nearly 15 pages long. Just give me to top line, the Executive summary.”
“Sir, this is the Constitution. It is the supreme law of the land. It lays out your duties, obligations, and the rules of your power as president.”
”Rules? What rules? Why didn’t someone tell me about this Constitution thing before now?”
“Let me begin at the beginning. Sir, there are three co-equal branches of government….”
“We’re not gonna use that liberal word anymore.”
“What word, Sir?”
“Equal.’ We’re not gonna say that crap anymore. No one is equal to me. No ideas are equal to mine. ‘Equal’ is the word that has ruined America. I’m gonna make America Great Again. Have a hat.”
The aide sighed. “We hold these truths to be self-evident………”
“Speak up. What are you babbling about? We don’t need all that paper. I have the rules. I know the rules. I make the rules. We’re gonna have new rules. The best rules. Rules that work for me.”
“Sir, you can’t just do that. Right here, in Article II, Section 3, Clause 5, it says the president must see that all laws are faithfully executed. It’s called the “take care clause,” and the courts have said….”
“Will you put that silly paper away, and quit babbling? I’ll follow the laws, the good laws, the laws that work, the laws that make money. I always follow any law that is convenient for me.”
“Sir, you really don’t have any choice.”
“The people gave me the choice. My landslide is a choice. They want me to do things. Great things. The best things.”
“Sir, you didn’t get a landslide. In fact, Secretary Clinton actually got nearly 3 million more votes than you did. Luckily for you, there’s a part of the Constitution called ‘The Electoral College’ that can put you in office. It’s a technicality, but…….”
“See. I’m just following the law. A convenient law.”
“Now then, Sir, about your appointments. You need to send them to the Senate for Advice and Consent. They need to be approved by the legislature.”
“Says who?”
“The Constitution, Sir. If you would please just read it, it explains a lot.”
“I don’t need explanations. I have my own explanations. Explanations from my brain. My very good brain. The best brain. Say, would you get me the First Nookie, I mean, First Lady on the phone? I’ll bet she’s never heard of this Constitution thing either. She needs a laugh.”
“Sir, you can’t just laugh off the Constitution.”
“You’re Fired!”
Donald snapped, “I’m in office, I was elected.”
“Sir, you aren’t actually president until you are sworn in on January 20th.”
“Where does it say that.”
