What would be great is to ask him a phony question in a historical context. For instance: "Mr. President, how does General Washington's famous words 'Speak softly and carry a big stick for a house divided against itself cannot stand' apply to this current situation?"

When he replies "We're looking at that very closely right now", they would have nailed him.

I know it's not likely but one can dream.
