I'm not sure if there is/was a thread similar to this, but either way, have at it or tell me I'm in the wrong place.
Ice cream for president. Short terms - every time it melts or gets eaten, we elect a tasty new flavor.

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
"Were the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now."
- Thomas Jefferson
