HILLARY PICKS BILL CLINTON AS VP RUNNING MATE!

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – While Republicans are struggling to pick their nominee for president in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, the Democrats are in a conundrum on who will be their vice presidential nominee.

But it is up to Hillary Clinton, not the Democrats, to pick her running mate. On Sunday, Clinton officially declared her candidacy for president. No other Democrat has expressed any desire to challenge Clinton.

Today, in her home state of New York, Hillary announced that she has picked husband Bill to be her running mate.

The U.S. Constitution limits the presidential term to a total of eight years, so Bill is ineligible to run again for president. But the constitution says nothing about a two-term president running for vice president!

Capitalizing on this constitutional loophole, Hillary picked her husband as her VP running mate.

“I think this would be the ultimate dream team; ” Hillary told reporters, “the American people will get two presidents for the price of one!”

There are amendments to the constitution that vaguely address whether or not a former two-term president can seek the vice presidency, and the Republican National Committee — caught offguard by Hillary’s announcement — is scrambling to challenge her choice of running mate.

The final decision may eventually rest with the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the meantime, Americans get two “everyday heroes.” Clinton and Clinton.

PACQUIAO DECLARES CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES

Leave a comment

imageLOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Win or lose, Filipino champion boxer Manny Pacquiao says his May 2 fight with American Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas will be his last. Then he will focus on his bright political career.

Pacquiao is a sitting congressman, representing his Philippine province of Saranggani.  Despite his reputation as one of the top absentee members of the Philippines’ House of Representatives, Pacquiao remains extremely popular among his constituents and the rest of the Filipinos who love champion boxers and beauty queens.

In  the U.S., politicians have started declaring their candidacies for the 2016 presidential elections. Pacquiao, on the other hand, has officially declared his candidacy for president of the Philippines in 2022.

The boxer made the announcement today through his promoter Bob Arum, who said that his protégé will seek the presidency in 2022.

The Philippines’ constitution sets the minimum age qualification for president at 40.  Pacquiao is 32, making him ineligible to run for president in the next scheduled elections in 2016.  The presidential term is six years, so the boxer is definitely qualified to run for president in 2022.

Between his May 2nd fight and the start of the 2022 Philippine presidential campaign period, Pacquiao is expected to continue pursuing his other passions as a playing basketball coach and as a Karaoke king. He certainly wants to do it, in his own words (copied from Frank Sinatra), “My Way.”

TOP 10 REASONS THERE WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN U.S. PRESIDENT

1 Comment

imageSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Now that Hillary Clinton has officially declared she is running for president in 2016,  the political and media circles have begun the unending debate on whether or not America is ready for a woman President.

We at The Adobo Chronicles maintain that there will never ever be a woman president in the U.S., and here’s why:

  1. There is no official title for a woman president’s husband at The White House.
  2. The American military will never take orders from a woman Commander-in-Chief.
  3. The White House has never dealt with maternity leave for as long as we all can remember.
  4. Presidents are fitted with dark suits, not dark pantsuits.
  5. Air Force One does not have a stall, only a urinal, for the bathroom on board. Marine One does not have a bathroom at all.
  6.  Our founding fathers didn’t have mothers in mind when they established the Union.
  7. There cannot be two women in the White House kitchen. The current executive chef is already a woman, Filipina-American Cristeta Comerford.
  8. A woman president can take a 3 a.m. call in her pajamas, but will always be late for a 7 a.m. meeting or appointment.
  9. Politicians and the media will never criticize a woman president, lest they be accused of being sexist.
  10. We do not want a repeat of that international embarassment when George W. Bush was caught on camera giving German Chancellor Angela Merkel a back rub. We would not allow that to happen to our woman president!
