I'm still confused as to how Cobra takes over the White House. I mean, did they also win all the seats in Congress? We have a separation of powers here, people! Not to mention a split between federal and state governments. What, are we to expect that this was some sort of magic xylophone? I sure hope someone got fired over this blunder.
Wait, so Congress took over the Presidency, but I'm pretty sure the White House decoration is managed by the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, which is chaired by the head of the national parks service and composed of various citizens. I guess the President could change that via executive order, but Congress could always cut the funds for buying the cobra flags. And even if cobra somehow got a majority in the Senate, it would still need the 60 votes necessary to vote for cloture to end an anti-cobra filibuster. While I guess becoming president seems like a good way to use the US military to get rid of GI Joe, it seems like it would be more trouble than it is worth. And what would be the media fallout from this action? Certainly there would be some Congressional investigations. And how would this affect the cobra party at mid terms. Heck, cobra could only be president for 8 years, max. And what is to stop GI Joe from running its own candidate after the first term? This movie is going to be a political thriller, right? Written by Aaron Sorkin?
A fauxumentary about interaction between earth and aliens? So like, Alien Nation? Or a less sinister V? Or Star Trek VI, in which humans and aliens must come together to prevent anti-peace factions from preventing a peace treaty!
If the US were a business, we'd have to have shareholder meetings to elect board members at least every 13 months, rather than every 2/4/6 years as we do now.
