Cat Candidates Being Forced To Leave Presidential Race
Cats scratched . . . Two felines were cat-egorically denied ballot access
last week by the Arizona Secretary of State's office when they tried to file as write-in candidates for president and vice president of the United States. Isis Rosen, party not designated, and her brother, Icarus, submitted their nomination papers for the posts. But like a fussy feline rejecting a plateful of food, the cats' campaign manager was rebuffed. "We did have to reject them as he (the manager) didn't provide 10 presidential electors and they're not registered (voters)," deputy Secretary of State Kevin Tyne said. There were other flaws that Tyne, perhaps out of politesse, did not mention. Such as the age thing. Isis, a Phoenix resident, is but 10 years old. The Constitution says the president has to be at least 35. Of course, who knows if Isis is in her first life, or her fifth or her ninth? Also, both cats call Arizona home. And as we learned in 2000, when Texan Dick Cheney quickly re-registered as a Wyoming resident, the prez and vp can't be from the same state. But, can a cat run for office? Isis and Icarus, in a written statement submitted to the secretary of state, assert that they can. There's nothing in the state or U.S. constitutions that expressly rules out a cat, they asserted. Well, actually, both constitutions reference a "person" when referring to qualifications for office. Is a cat a person? We'll save that debate for another day. |

CUT But, can a cat run for office? CUT Well... even when you compare a "smart" politician with an average cat, the cat wins hands down. Or so rumor goes. |
