I really don't see them commandeering the first class section on AA flights.

1. If we had our own way, he'd be the first President NOT to get SS protection.
He's on his own. He has Blackwater.

3. He can be impeached after he leaves office. I've tried to find a statute of limitations, and cannot
From wikipedia:

"It is possible to impeach someone even after the accused has vacated their office in order to disqualify the person from future office or from certain emoluments of their prior office (such as a pension)." That says to me ALL perks he gets as former president can be taken from him.

That being said, I'd prefer to take care of the most pressing problems we have here, such as poverty, unemployment, shitty education, and a host of others FIRST.

Then take from him everything he's earned WRONGFULLY, and send him to the Hague.

8. Yes but his airfair would still be 100% free
CONAIR does not charge its passengers I understand.

2. Well, I sure as fuck...
...do NOT want him on any plane I'm flying on! Try and sit that dude on a plane I'm on and I'll have the same look on my face as that dude who was hancuffed to Oswald.

Yikes!

12. I should think with all the ill-gotten,
no-bid, multi-zillion dolllar contracts he tossed to Halliburton the last 8 years that Halliburton would gratefully provide him with free corporate jet service in perpetuity. Or perhaps his good buddies the Saudi Royal Family. Of course the Bush Family is not exactly on food stamps either.
