Rethugs push for Constitutional Amendment lowering the age required to become president [View all]

(Satire alert, for the parody-challenged)

In their "anyone but Romney" campaign, Republicans have found a new potential candidate to rally around: Tim Tebow. To this end, conservatives around the country have announced a push to amend the Constitution to lower the eligibility age to run for President from 35 to 25 - noting that Tebow will turn 25 on August 14th, just in time for the GOP convention.

"We thought about trying to get Jesus Christ to run for the nomination, but unfortunately he wasn't born in the United States, and we can't get his long-form birth certificate," Republican strategist Schitz Ferbrains said. "Therefore, we decided to go for the next best thing - Tim Tebow. He says all the right things, he's a football player, people just love him!" Ferbrains added "We just have to get past that pesky 'gotta be 35' thing in the Constitution, but we're positive we can ram through an amendment before the election."
