A Mormon President?

There was a funny email going around a few days ago at my work. The premise is what if Mitt Romney (a Mormon) was elected President? If you were Brother Romney's Bishop here are the top ten questions to ask. If you are Mormon you'll get it, if not I'd be happy to explain---

1. Can you call Mitt and Ann as Nursery Leaders...even if you feel really inspired?

2. Who is going to Home Teach them? Will they need a National Security screening?

3. Will you allow an Inaugural Ball to be held in the Cultural Hall? Do you mount security cameras on the top of each basketball rim and have the Secret Service detail stationed on the stage?

4. How will tithing settlement work? Will the Secretary of Treasury come too?

5. Will you invite the new Romney family to speak at Sacrament? If the go a little over at what point do you ask them to sit down?

6. Can you ask the Secret Service agents to help out in the Primary?

7. If you give Mitt a calling and the two Democrats in the Ward raise their hand AGAINST sustaining him - partly out of habit - does the Supreme Court need to be involved?

8. Will the Secret Service do a sweep of the building before each meeting?

9. If you can't give them a calling (job), and they don't attend very often (for presidential stuff) will that mean they're 'inactive?' If they're not active, can you give them a Temple Recommend ? And if you do, can they go? Will the Secret Service have to screen the temple too?

10. If Harry Reid and Mitt Romney are in the same High Priest group, will you need to be there to keep order?

Other things to think about...

*If you're assigned to be the Romney's home teacher, can you just drop by with no appointment?

*Can you bring by Christmas sweets and cookies? Will they be analyzed? And for how many people - family, secret service details?

*Would the Elder's Quorum have to help him move in and out of the White House?

*If Ann Romney gets sick, are you allowed to bring in meals or at least tell the Relief Society about it?

*If Mitt Romney is assigned to be YOUR home teacher and he wants to come at the end of the month, do you accept his reason, 'I've been out of town'?

*Is telling the group leader you haven't been home taught a national security breech?

Anyway, just some food for thought. This is in no way an endorsement for (Brother) Mitt Romney. After all, I am an Independent and rumor has it that Ross Perot has formed a committe to consider running again.

Peace Out,
