Agreed the locus of power is the county, and the Constitution is structured such that the President could be a plow-hand for four years without causing damage. ...However, and it's a big however, The Mouse is an incorporeal entity. It's right there in the name. Thankfully unpossible.

So I was running Hella H-4 with Halogen bulbs in my VW panel van. I could pull up along side buses or big trucks with their ovals of yellow light in their lane, hit the high beams, and put wall-to-wall white light across both lanes. Panzer vor!
