Reagan's joke

George. Washington is called the "father of the country" of the United States. In the early days of American independence, at a constitutional convention, a congressman absurdly proposed to President Washington to make such a provision in the US Constitution: "Under any circumstances, the national regular army shall not exceed 5,000." Washington, who sat by, answered him unhurriedly: "Your suggestion is very good. However, I think it should be added that the number of troops invading the United States cannot exceed 3,000 at any time! " The senator was silent.

Ronald. Regan

Ronald. Reagan was the oldest person when he became president of the United States. When he was running for re-election, he had a TV debate with his opponent Mundell. At that time, Mundell asked Reagan if his age would be a big problem after his successful election. Reagan replied, "I'm not going to take advantage of my opponent's youth and his inexperience for political purposes!" " There was a burst of laughter, followed by applause.
