3 Term President Dies #satire

President Barbara Bush died last week at the age of 92 in Houston.  In control to the end, she alerted the media that she had chosen to prepare for death, therefore allowing suitable lead time for the news stories.

Mrs. Bush served 3 terms, as the 41st President (through George H.W. Bush) and then 2 terms as the 43rd President (through George W. Bush).  Her legacy is that True Power is not directly addressed by the 25th amendment.  "The country needed a good woman, and I stepped up to meet the call" she noted in her private farewell address in 2009.

When asked if she would prefer to be Vice President she echoed Vice President John Nance Garner that it was not worth a warm bucket of spit and noted that after the debacle of a weak VP of Dan Quayle, she installed a more effective figurehead in Dick Cheney to reverse that mistake.  She noted that you learn more and more as you serve as President longer.

After the election President Bill Clinton, she worked behind the scenes to return to office, using the power of her Bush name and connections.  A true adherent to classic Republican ideals, she supported her son Jeb Bush in a bid for a 4th term, but ultimately she realized that her time was not without its limits.

Bitter to the end that he would not measure up to President Barbara Bush, President Trump will not attend the funeral in Houston, sending Melania Trump instead to learn some of the formal actions  Mrs. Bush did in her guise as First Lady and First Mother.
