The Next President Could be a Princess, an Emperor, or Vermin Supreme
The Takeaway | Jun 9, 2015
In recent weeks, over a dozen Republicans and Democrats have announced their candidacy for the 2016 presidential election.
Of course, there are the headliners like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and the lesser knowns, like Lincoln Chafee.
But it's not just mainstream candidates running for office.
There's also Princess Khadijah M. Jacob-Fambro, HRM Caesar Saint Augustine de Buonaparte Emperor of the United States of Turtle Island, Vermin Supreme, and hundreds of other people officially seeking the job.
In total, 366 people have filed a Form 2 statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission—so far.
