Student Council meeting [Lunch time]

Josh sat at his desk eating a sandwich and flipping through the Washington Post as he waited for the members of the Student Council to arrive.

He pointed to the sign-in sheet when they arrived. "Welcome to the new incarnation of the Student Council. I know most of you, but for those I don't, I'm Josh Lyman. I teach history, government, and politics now, but up until a few weeks ago, I was the deputy chief of staff for the Bartlet Administration. I'm here to tell you that actual politics bears a shockingly close resemblance to Student Council work--the only difference is the national government has more funding and we spend less time worrying about school spirit and pep rallies."

Josh swung his feet onto his desk. "Because there are twelve of you representing the various classes here, I want you all to have an equal say--but we do need one person to be more equal than others. Someone who wants to be in charge. Someone who, and this is very important, isn't me."

He rubbed his hands through his hair. "First order of business, then: who wants to be President?"

Parker throws a ball of wadded up paper at his head, and says, "Thank you, Mr. Blank. The Student Council will take your concerns under advisement. But if you'd really wanted to stop me, you should've run for real. Ha. Next candidate!"

"What? and actually *do* work. Uh-uh. More fun to show up and derail your political career before it can take off."

"You underestimate my will to power by a considerable margin, Blank."
