Charlie (Colorado):

If every president had to resign every time the federal government wasn’t as effective at something as its critics think it should have been, they’d have to take official portraits with a polaroid camera.

You say that as if it were a bad thing.

So some scheme or another means that Presidents would have to resign often. This means that we wouldn’t have any one President for a very long period of time. And then… what?

(In order to have a successful reductio ad absurdum, you have to point out at least one consequence of a position that is actually absurd…)
