WHY IS MICHAEL INGBAR QUALIFIED TO BE the PRESIDENT of the united states?
QUALIFICATIONS
MILITARY
During the Vietnam War, Michael was called to active duty in the US Army, posted to Fort Hood, Texas and started to work with a secret clearance in the G2, Counter Intelligence Division of the Fourth US Army. After seeing how ridiculous some of the classifications were such as "SECRET: Officer's club cocktail party this Friday at 8pm” Michael was actually fired from his position and due to laughing loudly about the contents of the documents . He volunteered to go to accounting school in Fort Benjamin Harrison however he was given a choice between being shipped off to Vietnam and working an office job in the States, so he wisely chose the latter. He got a job working in the largest Army stockade in the U.S. in charge of prisoner’s personal property and finances. Meeting many soldiers coming back from Vietnam, he came to realize how crazy the world really was. This caused him to became a Vietnam War protester while in the military.
Swearing to never cut his hair again after getting an honorable discharge from the Army in 1968, Michael didn’t realize he would be called up for reserve duty almost two years later.

AWARDS
PEABODY AWARD WINNER, 2004. Michael and his partner at the time, Jennifer Pringle, won the Peabody Race Dance Competition at the prestigious 92nd St. Y. She didn’t tell him before the contest that she didn’t know how to dance the Peabody, and people accused her of running backwards throughout the dance. In spite of that they still won the competition. When Michael becomes President, she has been promised to be his First Lady. She is also aware of the fact that there will be a Second, Third, and possibly a Fourth First Lady living in the White House along with him.
