Stranger than fiction

The current U.S. president has threatened to strip Rosie O’Donnell of her U.S. citizenship, apparently just because he doesn’t like her. I wish I were making that up, but these days it seems that truth is stranger than fiction.

On the other hand, it has been argued that it should go the other way: Rosie O’Donnell should strip the current American president of his U.S. citizenship. She certainly has cause, and it would make life easier for a lot of Americans.

You might think such an event would be unlikely. There are some who make the technical point that a private citizen does not actually have the power to strip a sitting president of U.S. citizenship.

However, considering the following fact: Rosie O’Donnell has exactly as much right to strip the president of his U.S. citizenship as he has to strip her of her U.S. citizenship.

So I guess it’s a stand-off.
