¿Question #733?
EndersGame: Would you rather be the Pope or the President of the USA?

TheGrimReeple: I'm definitely not eligible for one, probably not eligible for the other, and want neither. But if all requirements were waived and I was forced to pick one, I'd go for Pope. I couldn't accomplish anything significant as President since I'd be fighting Congress, the Senate and a sizable chunk of the media for every inch of progress. Whereas I'm pretty sure I could tear the Catholic Church apart within a year as Pope. Besides, have you seen the Pope's bling?
pricero1: Well as I wasn't born in the US, I can't be President, so it just leaves the question of whether I, as an atheist, could be Pope, especially as I do not speak Italian or Latin.
Svengaard: I could be an ineffective, senile old fool that doesn't realize I'm in a meaningless position with no power, elected by a bunch of retards that fails to see that the rest of the world doesn't really care about their opinions anymore, or I could be The Pope. Tough call.
Felimid: Neither.
Woelf: Pope: You get to wear the hat, and you don't have to worry about every single decision you make being shit on by the fuck-knobs in Congress.
the manatee: President; at least it's over in four years.
Bifford: Both jobs suck
ajax013: pope. but only for the hat.
TunaSled: The Prez. The Pope is a fossil, creepy, and misleading millions with religion. Well I guess they both lie.
Phil Fleischmann: President hands down. You can have sex, lie about it under oath, be on TV whenever you want, command all of the US military, write books, have your name put on books someone else wrote for you, have movies made about you, fly in your own private airplane, ...

Grizzley91: The President: the Pope has to wear goofy clothes, plus I'd like to be able to spread out the maps with my General Staff.
Beelzebub: Pope. Your job is secure for life. You are incredibly wealthy. You can have satellite TV installed in the papal apartment and watch porn all day long while everyone else thinks you're praying for them.
the_redstar_swl: The Pope does not have nukes ;-)
FrozenHoHos: Out of the spotlight.
nexttothemoon: Ewww...tuff choice. Ee-nie-mee-nie-min-ie-moe-catch-a-pol-it-ic-all-y-in-corr-ect-slang-word-by-the-toe-if-af-ore-ment-ioned-fel-low-hol-lers-let-him-go-ee-nie-mee-nie-min-ie-moe. The Pope.

Karlsen: President
EndersGame: President. The Roman Catholic church recently named the WRONG pope by mistake! The real pope is Cardinal R. Atkinson. His picture here is a must see: http://www.worth1000.com/entries/10500/10630.jpg He has assumed the name Pope Bean VIII
WasQ: I prefer the shadow behind
AlorielLelyn: Well, interesting question since both would be a major paradigm shift, considering that the US hasn't had a female president, and the Catholic church banned women from the altar. However, I would rather be the president, since I'm not christian, and since the president has a bit more power.
-Johnny-: Why would I want to be either?
thoia: I'd rather be an ice fisherman in Alaska. But that's because of the choices you gave me.
m_r_tyler: Neither, but if I had to choose it would be US President.
fsumarc: Pope
P.O.G.G.: President! I can't be married or do a lot of other fun stuff if I'm the Pope.
puffinge: The pope, and boy would there be some changes.
Scott Tepper: Pope
GuyHill: Im not eligible for both (not a good catholic, not an American citizen)
threlicus: President. Though I'd prefer Chief Justice.
Blackwind: Pope can't get blowjobs!
dakarp: Neither, but I guess it would make more sense for me to be president.
fellonmyhead: No.
DangerMouse: President
chaddyboy_2000: I don't want either position.
djflippy: Neither.
scribidinus: President if an atheist could get elected in this country.

CDRodeffer: Pope, definitely. You only have to *obey* a president, king or dictator. But you also have to *believe* a pope.
Glamorous Mucus: Prefer to be neither, but I'd choose U.S. President.. Unless you mean that I actually have to be George Bush. In that case, Pope.
ValJor: PotUS. Because I would have real power to change the world for better and not just fake power like the other guy. Other than that, I would make a bad Pope, because I'm an atheist
echoota: Pope, easier to tweak broken rules
Flyspeck23: President.
netfilterz: President of the USA
jttm: President gets BJs from interns. Pope has vow of chastity. Not much of a question.
skelebone: President, a lot more latitude, less respect.
ynnen: Neither. I've not the spiritual strength to be pope, and lack the skills needed to deceive, distract and inveigle the population like the president.
Mike A: President. Either one people could take shots at me, though.
CortexBomb: President. Though it's a less powerful position in the abstract (Pope is absolutely over church, president is hypothetically restrained by congress and the judicial branch) it is much higher profile, and is the most powerful office one can hold outside the corporate world
