<p>[QUOTE="howboutatrade, post: 2099605, member: 10387"]The program, as it nears it's end, and the laws having room for interpretation (can you skip, how long dead / or even dead) is the basis of the conversation. So "Which president can/should be on the Presidential Dollar?" requires us to discuss which Presidents should be on the coin. The name of the thread is asking if <b>Ronald Reagan</b> should and which design...<b>Ronald Reagan (specific president name in the thread)</b>...skipping Jimmy Carter...if we skip one can we skip others? Should we skip at all and allow Jimmy Carter. Names of Presidents and discussing if they should/should not be included is part of the debate....not political.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if we get into a big debate over the reasons a president should or should not be on the coin, that would become political. So, should Obama be on a coin if the legislation does not require the person to be dead? (non political). Should Obama, as the first president of color, be honored? (non political). Should Obama because of his work with Pelosi to force the ACA on the public creating national health care? (political).</p><p><br /></p><p>So we will not discuss the <b>Reason </b>we believe specific president should be honored. However, the title of the thread, and the nature of the thread, requires us to discuss specific presidents and if the law as it is written for the program would allow that specific president to be on a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
