Why are presidents elected?

You may point to Obama as an exception to many of these rules, but history will ultimately show that he was a burp in the universe.

Also, it has never been explicitly proven that he doesn't have a vagina, so we don't know how many of these rules Obama has accidentally broken.

But no worries, the universe always seeks equilibrium, so it's a basic inevitability that the next president of the United States will be Jerry Falwell, by means of overcompensation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If Hollywood is any indication, the zombie revolution is due nigh anyhow, so once they are a populous majority, Falwell is a shoe-in.

The universe seeks equilibrium always; the end justifies the means.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Untrue. The limitation for any man (dead or living is not specifically stated) is two terms. Reagan has already served his maximum and is now ineligible for the Presidency.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Way to ruin a perfectly serviceable discussion about zombie leadership.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's unclear as to whether the DNA of a zombie has been altered from its original, living incarnation, so we cannot precisely state whether it is the same man in scientific terms.

However, dead or alive, it still has the same Social Security Number, so I do think that's enough of a barrier to attaining a third presidency. By bureaucratic standards - scientific standards don't typically apply in government law - it's still the same person, regardless of its live or dead status.

I was speaking idiomatically.

No, he entered the Senate as a living being, then was merely grandfathered in as a zombie.

Because again, there are no laws specifically prohibiting a zombie from seeking re-election.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Though that is a valid concern, I do believe it will be succinctly rendered moot as all undead beings will be considered equal under the Shambling Hordes Act of 2018.
