We need a Presidential Vacation Limitation Law
Bush is proving to be the ultimate slacker.

We really need to take control of this situation and pass a law that would limit Presidential vacations to the average number of weeks most Americans get.

No vacation the first year. Two weeks for year 2 through 5, then three weeks for years 5 through 8.

During times of war, all leaves are cancelled for the troops, so the Commander In Chief should have his cancelled too.

Seems to me the job of President of the United States should be a full time job. especially when our men and women in uniform are dying.

2. Damn straight, if the little fuck is gonna play pResident, he better
remember who's paying his bills...we the little people, that's who.
Although I do think any president should get vacation the first year, it is kind of a stressful job (or would be for normal people)
One week first year then I like your schedule.

Yeah, this little bastard is even lazier and dumber than Ray-gun, and I didn't EVEN think that was within the realm of possibility!

3. Could we also add an exercise limitation clause?
Two hours daily is excessive.

While we're at it, would an eight-hour mandatory workday be out of line?

4. I agree with you,,,,,


"at War" should mean NO vacations for any "elected" official in DC.

I also think a President should be a verifiable work-a-holic!! Daily exercise & naps & bed by 10,,,, along with all this Vacation time,,,, * IS a slacker!!!

5. No, we just need paper ballots.
The problem would then go away. In fact the problem would never have occurred in the first place.

6. We should consider ourselves lucky...
Just imagine how much more damage he would have caused if he'd been "on the job" those 322 days he was on vacation.
