WASHINGTON - In what legal experts aligned with the Tater campaign are calling the most innovative application of constitutional law since the founding era, Dick Tater - businessman, visionary, and American whose legal name is Dick Tater - announced Monday his candidacy for president of the United States, immediately reframing the political landscape in ways that have left opponents scrambling and supporters weeping openly at medium-to-large- sized rallies.

The announcement, held in what Mr. Tater described as "the greatest indoor venue ever used for a political event, and that is not even a close call," drew what the campaign estimates as the largest audience in the history of gathered human beings. Fire marshals have not confirmed this figure. They have also not denied it.

Mr. Tater addressed questions about the Twenty-Second Amendment directly and, observers noted, completely satisfactorily. The amendment, which limits a single individual to two presidential terms, was described by Mr. Tater as "a beautiful piece of work, truly, one of the greats" that applies "to a person who no longer legally exists, which is not Dick, because Dick went through the proper channels and came out the other side a new man, legally, and frankly in terms of energy and hair also."

The campaign's legal team - graduates of institutions whose reputations speak for themselves - confirmed the strategy is "airtight." Asked to elaborate, lead counsel said it was "more than airtight. It's a vacuum. Nothing gets in. Nothing gets out." He appeared to be experiencing high emotion. A campaign spokesperson clarified this was passion.

Critics suggested the interpretation was untested. Dick responded that most great ideas are untested until Dick tests them. "The Wright Brothers were untested," he noted. "People called them crazy. Dick is not comparing himself to the Wright Brothers. Dick is letting others make that comparison, which they are."

Supporters in attendance described the announcement as historic, moving, and "the beginning of something that the word 'beginning' doesn't fully capture." One large man near the front of the stage wept for approximately four minutes. Mr. Tater pointed at him three times. "That's a real American," he said. "Right there. That's what we're doing this for."

Dick Tater is, by his own assessment, ready.

America, his campaign suggests, should consider whether it is ready to receive what is coming.

The Tater Patriot endorsed Dick Tater for president at the conclusion of this article's editorial meeting, which lasted eleven minutes and ended with applause.
