"And even Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
in your backyard, like you have said."

Why Lestat for president? Why not? I mean, have you seen the canidates for this year's presidential election? I, for one, can't think of a better person to live in the White House and be our Chief Executive. And if Bill Clinton got into office, how hard can it really be?
Arguments for Lestat in Office:
- He's smart - Okay, so he never had a
formal education (not much of one, anyhow). Lestat's brilliant.
He's talented, and he's an actor, which is a good trait for a
politician to have. Plus, he plays piano. Screw saxophones,
Lestat's got it all!
- He's a natural leader. - Lestat's a pro at making his
own rules, so why shouldn't he make them for the entire country?
- He loves the spotlight. - And who gets more attention
from the media than Mr. President?
- He's bound to be more liberal. - Seeing as though
genders don't matter to vampires, and since he's a murderer, he's
bound be more open-minded than most canidates.
- He's old enough. - What's the age to become President?
I forgot and I'm not really researching this page, so let's say
41. At any rate, Lestat is over 200. He's had more experience and
more
Counter Arguments for Lestat in Office:
- He's fictional. - Yeah, well, how do
we know Bill Clinton is real? And anyhow, I don't remember
reading anything in the constitution that says the president
can't be a literary character. In fact, Thomas Jefferson was
quite a fan of novels and I'm sure he'd agree with me.
- He wasn't born in the United States. - True, but I'm
sure he can gather enough documentation that proves he was (even
though he wasn't).
- He can't go out in the daylight. - Details, details.
The presidential conventions and meetings can easily be held at
night. And for emergencies, well, that's what assistants are for.
