WASHINGTON - Today Newt Gingrich announced that if elected, his would be the first "open presidency," allowing him to rule other nations.
If enacted, this would be the first time a sitting President of the United States would simultaneously be the head of state for another nation. The closest any previous president came to this was President George W. Bush, who was simultaneously the "Honorary Chief Executive of Fantasyland," within the Walt Disney theme park.
"It's an interesting precedent to consider," said Jolie Schuchert, a political analyst and Constitutional scholar with the Morgan Group think-tank. "Certainly a bizarre demand, especially from a candidate who doesn't even have his party's nomination. Perhaps this will propel his candidacy forward. Or quickly get him humiliated and discarded like Herman Cain or Rick Perry."
Sources within the Gingrich camp have been quick to defend the position. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with open relationships," said one anonymous source, dressed in bell-bottoms and heavy with astrological necklaces. "Whether that relationship is with several sexy, sexy ladies, or entire nations is entirely irrelevant. We know that Newt could easily lead two or even four countries at the same time just fine. And he'd do great with just a tab or two of Viagra. That and a Tiffany's account."
