which presidents have their faces on stamps?
Reagan's anti-american and equally traitorous mug is on a stamp come February. :-(

(saw it at the post office and I'm sure one of the 18 security cameras saw me scowl upon seeing it.)

1. Reagan's going to be on a stamp?
I thought you had to be dead ten years to qualify for stamphood.

3. If it makes you feel better,
Reagan's been brain-dead for at least 34 years.

But don't forget which sort of vermicular life form is running this country... they want his face on a dime, buildings renamed for him, his face on Mt Rushmore (which is the worst insult of them all)

5. Reagan qualifies as an exception
The Criteria Our Postal Service Uses To
Select America's Postage Stamps
The U.S. Postal Service and the members of the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) have set certain basic criteria for determining eligibility of subjects for commemoration on U.S. stamps and stationery. these criteria were first formulated about the time of the Postal Reorganization in the early 1970s, and have been refined and expanded gradually since then.

The following are the 12 major criteria now guiding subject selection:
redacted 1 and 2, and the rest.

3. Commemorative stamps or postal stationery items honoring individuals usually will be issued on, or in conjunction with, significant anniversaries of their birth, but no postal item will be issued sooner than ten years after the individual's death. The only exception to the ten-year rule is the issuance of stamps honoring deceased U.S. presidents. They may be honored with a memorial stamp on the first birth anniversary following death.
