How many days did Ronald Reagan serve in national office, either in the

I would consider military service a good qualifier.

Like Grant?

I don't know about Reagan, but at least he was employed in the private
sector. i.e earned an honest living

OK, I nominate Jack Nicholson for president, Christopher Walken as VP.
(Too bad Marlon Brando is dead, he'd make a dandy Secretary of State.)

I nominate Stallone (in 'Rambo' mode) for SecDef and Richard Marcinko
for Czar of the Department of Homeland Security. Then we wouldn't need
a war. It'd all be black ops (for a million times less money), it'd be
all over and done in a month, and we could then start paying down the
deficit. Hmm, who can we find to start pruning the gov't teat of
agencies? A good libertarian would help. How about Ron Paul?

And let's replace all the aides to CONgress with homeless folks.
They'd put the pompous asses in their places and help them get in
touch with the reality of life on the streets here in the USA for the
first time in their elitist lives.
