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.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES CHOOSE THEIR RUNNING MATES

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – U.S. Presidential Candidates don’t normally pick their vice presidential running mate until right before their party’s national convention. But 2016 is defying the odds. And Hillary Clinton has a lot to do with it.

After Clinton announced that she was running for president, the three declared Republican presidential aspirants immediately revealed their choice for vice president, all of them women.

The Republican strategy for 2016 is to attract two powerful voting blocks — Hispanics and women. It is no wonder that two of the Republican candidates are of Hispanic heritage (Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio), and that presumptive candidate Jeb Bush had tried to identify as Hispanic in his 2009 voter registration.

To complete the election strategy, the declared Republican candidates have chosen these women to be their running mates:

Ted Cruz – Former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota

Rand Paul – Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona

Marco Rubio – Conservative columnist Ann Coulter

Meanwhile, The Adobo Chronicles learned from informed sources that when former Florida Governor Jeb Bush finally declares his candidacy, he will also reveal his choice of vice president, conservative author and blogger, Filipina-American Michelle Malkin. His strategy seems to be going after Hispanics, women and Asians.

It makes us wonder: in a national, televised debate among all these talkative women vice presidential candidates, who will end up having the last word?

FORGET DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME, WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS PROPOSE WEEKEND SAVING TIME!

MADISON, Wisconsin (The Adobo Chronicles) – Forget about Daylight Saving Time. The debate about whether Americans should wake up one hour early or one hour later was so yesterday! If the Republicans have their way, they’d rather implement ‘Weekend Saving Time.’ Or WST.

Say what?

It means your entire weekend will disappear.

Wisconsin state Sen. Glenn Grothman (R) wants to roll back one of the state’s progressive labor laws, arguing that workers should be allowed to work without a day off if they so choose.

“Right now in Wisconsin, you’re not supposed to work seven days in a row, which is a little ridiculous because all sorts of people want to work seven days a week,” he told The Huffington Post in an interview.

Wisconsin is one of the few states in the nation where businesses “must provide employees with at least one period consisting of 24 consecutive hours of rest in each calendar week.” This doesn’t mean that workers get to take off once every seven days; an employee could work for up to 12 consecutive days “if the days of rest fall on the first and last days of the 2 week period.”

Grothman said he finds this law “a little goofy,” and he argued that rolling it back is a matter of “freedom.”

He’s proposing legislation that “would allow an employee to voluntarily choose to work without one day of rest in seven,” according to an email sent by his office to other state lawmakers on Friday. State Rep. Mark Born (R) is leading the legislation in the state Assembly.

Newly-declared presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (R, Texas) actually likes the idea. Very much.

So there you have it, be prepared to roll back your weekend. Or roll it forward? Nah. How about give it up forever?
