Make your pick! | next poll >> |
Get down with your bad self X3
But then I remember it's me, not the Wings, and everything makes sense in the world again. X)
ANYWAY, I hope everyone who's already voted remembers to comment. I'd hate for half the votes not to count.
For now, please follow LeonardFan's directions and post a comment if you have not done so already. Thank you!

Good luck to all and no matter what, you are all winners in my heart. <3
Signed,

I chose who I chose, even though it was a close tie between everyone. I know Metallica well, but I had the urge to choose SJF, Icicle and Pegnuinangel too! If I could have chosen all of you, I would have, but unfortunately that was not an option. DX
Anyways, I am really sorry to every other candidate, truly. D:
As someone who has followed politics for several years, I have seen plenty of interesting developments in the run-up to Election Day. Now it's time for one of my own, one that Kowalski's unexpected-detecting device probably would not have seen coming.
This historic election is about to become a little more historic. I have given it a little thought and have made the difficult decision to now stand aside and suspend my bid for re-election. I thank my fine supporters for their votes and well-wishes, but at this time I request that they instead switch their votes to Icicle1penguin. While I look forward to swearing-in whoever wins this election, I think she would make a fine successor.
Thanks again to both my supporters and all who have participated in this election. This is a victory for democracy no matter who wins; Skipper would be proud of you all.
Good luck, Icicle!

If you had been the one to drop out instead of me and you made a post that encouraged people to vote for Penguinangel, I would support your right to do that 100%. While I'll admit my decision was a bit unexpected and unorthodox, any candidate is and should be free to withdraw and endorse another.
EDIT: If you still think it's unfair, I'd be glad to buy you a fish coffee to make it up to you. I could probably use a double myself. Heck, fish coffees for everyone -- put it on my tab. :)
So this makes my voting even more difficult...
My withdrawal does not mean that I have not enjoyed my role as president for the past many months -- I am deeply honored to have served as such. Nor does it mean that I care about this community any less -- trust me, no one wants to shake the hand of every member of this club more than I do. My withdrawal is simply a personal decision.
Fair thee well, President-Elects.
Now my vote counts :D

Once the pick officially closes, I will post another count like the one shown above, only it will be a final count and the only official one. As things stand, Metallica1147 will likely be the official winner in one day's time.
Originally, I was going to use the oath from the U.S. Constitution that U.S. presidents take upon assuming office. However, it's rather short and I like the language of the U.S. federal oath instead. This one is not in the Constitution, but it is used to swear-in people to many federal offices, including the Senate, House of Representatives, the U.S. vice president, and cabinet members. Its text can be found in Title 5 of the U.S. Code:
"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God."
The elected winner, once the pick closes, should raise their right hand while saying the above oath; they may place their left on a Bible (or perhaps in our case, a PoM DVD or a stuffed penguin toy) if desired.

And I see the fanpick's not closing again. This has been a VERY long minute.
I, Brandon, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.

Now that I've tabulated the results, I'll be awaiting my $250 check for my services. Since "Classified J. Classified" probably won't hold up at the bank, make it out to "cash."
