1. Provided it IS in effigy
And that you follow local fire safety regulations. You probably want to do it on private property, too; otherwise, they will get you for "reckless endangerment" from the fire hazard.

2. One note, the SS may not take kindly to you burning or hanging * in effigy
They seem to take a dim view to that sort of activity involving a sitting president, especially where * is concerned.

3. Legal - protected free speech
provided you dont endanger anyone by doing it on public property or in a way that may get innocent bystanders hurt.

May I suggest a hanging instead? Much less chance of unintended damage or injury.

4. Stuff him full of twenties, and watch the pubbies whack him like a pinata!
They'd rip the REAL Bush's head off if they thought he was full of cash. It'd be fun to watch the greedy mofos in their blue suits rolling around on the ground groveling for dirty money!

5. Could the SS misconstrue the hanging as a threat on his life?
