Vote Mega Man in 20XX

As a journalist, people occasionally ask what my political views are. Since political statements now may affect my career later on, I usually keep my opinions to myself, sometimes deflecting political questions with absurd answers. Not today, though. I'm going to tell you all what I really believe.

I believe we should elect Mega Man as president in 20XX.
By way of explanation*, Mega Man is a little blue robot who jumps around shooting little white pills at other robots. When he defeats an opponent, he steals their power. For example, after he defeats Snake Man, he can shoot snakes.**
If Mega Man were elected president, he'd automatically absorb the qualifications of all his opponents, making him the best choice for office. On the other hand, as my brother Gordo pointed out, he wasn't born in the U.S., making him Constitutionally ineligible for office. Luckily, there's a loophole. Since he's a robot, he technically hasn't been born anywhere ... yet.***
His running mate could be his robot dog. In the games, Rush stays completely out of sight until he can do something useful, like transform into a jet, submarine or motorcycle. He's pretty politically neutral -- he's pink, so liberals will like him, and he's named Rush, so conservatives will like him.

*Explanation applicable to people born before 1970 or after 1990
**My favorite boss from the games was Gemini Man. I'm a Gemini, and it's validating to know that my Zodiac sign is cool enough to spawn an `80s video game villain.
