    No. Just no fuck that. That’s the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

    The President is the head of the Executive Branch of the US government. As much as it is analogous to a corporation, the position of President is akin to CEO.

    Do you think it would ever be acceptable for the chief executive officer of an organization responsible for the well being of hundreds of millions of people to not know how many board members they have?

    You might not know this if you grew up in Russia, but the number of Representative in the US House is something we learn very early on. It is one of the first and most basic civics lessons Americans learn.

    It’s one thing for ignorant adult Americans to not know there are 435 Reps. But the President of the United States? Are you having a fucking laugh?
