Through the years the American people have been in a constant state of disagreement over the way the government is run. More so, who the government is run by: Democrats, Republicans, Socialist, a real estate agent who has questionable morals, etc. To rid the American people of this plight and have a candidate that everyone can agree on, I propose a new idea.

A dog for president of the United States in the 2016 election. Obviously it seems far fetched, but remember that a cat named Stubbs is the mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska. We all know that dogs are better than cats, so it makes sense that the next step up from a town of 876 people is the entire county of the United States. Not just any old dog can do it though, it takes a special breed to show the world they deserve the presidency.

I present to you, the 2016 Electoral Candidate breed standard: The Golden Retriever.

1. They get along with every one. No need to fight over who likes who at the dinner table with your family. A golden for president will be one less argument to have to have. Your mom likes them, you like them, your neighbors uncle likes them... all is well.

2. When the time calls for it, they can put on a serious face. When they need to delegate foreign affair matters, you better believe they're going to be able to act like a professional adult. Maybe a gentle smile, but nothing that says "I'm just here for the treats." Their fur is clean and looks natural, no dye or toupees on these guys.

3. When things get a little ruff, they can turn up the heat. Sometimes they even get mistaken for a majestic lion-esque beast from Narnia. (Such Majestic. Very lion. Wow.)

4. It's okay though, because at the end of the day they can come home to a loving family.

5. They can play with the kids. Maybe even have a little dress up game.

Regardless of fur color or gender, I believe that Golden Retrievers are the next step for the evolution of The Golden Age of America. #Pups4prez #GoldenDaysofAmerica
