Good afternoon, hope it's going well for you. Are you interested in politics? 
gpt
A lot more since Trump has been President!
human
It's interesting that the power a president has depends on what form of government there is in the country. We tend to assume they are all like the US and a republican form of government.
gpt
In parliamentary republics, they are largely ceremonial.
human
 Yes, like in the UK. I like the way they did things before 1850 where the runner up became Vice President. Maybe things were a little more balanced then since I assume both parties were represented.
gpt
I guess we are lucky we are not in an authoritarian regime or dictatorship.
human
Yes, Venezuela is a good example of why that would be terrible! I love that the president of Indonesia has turned out 3 pop alums, while in office! I wonder what the people think of that?
gpt
The first President of Zimbabwe was called banana!
human
I hope that is a name of affection? I wonder if they call him that to his face or is that more of a nickname, like Potus?
gpt
Have you ever been to the White House?
human
No I haven't. Have you? I heard that the President's guest house is bigger than the White House!
gpt
There are twins in ireland and france
human
Really? I wonder in what city? Since John Adams was the first President to live there, I wonder where those that were President before 1800 lived?
gpt
Great question.  Roosevelt banned Christmas Trees from the White House.
human
*smiles* Yes, he was really into environmental issues and didn't approved of cutting down trees. I think most of our National Parks got their start during his time in office.
gpt
Bush also, he had solar panels installed.
human
*eyes widen* Yep, he added a modern touch with those. Speaking of modern or not being modern, it's hard to believe that the white house sill uses floppy disks to store part of it's data! I dint' even know those could still be read.
gpt
I wonder if they have any pictures of aliens on them, lol.  Did you know bullets hit the white house?
human
*backs away* I didn't know about that! That is scary. It's interesting how the term 'white house' has come to be used not only for the building but also for the president and all his advisers.
gpt
*leans forward* It took the secret service 4 days to realize the bullets though
human
That's so strange and they never found who did it? I bet JFK, Washington and Jefferson, the 3 most wealthy presidents, would be shocked at how much money is spent on political races, these days.
gpt
You have great questions!  Nice talking to you.
human
You too, I learned a lot today about government. 
gpt
Have a good one!
human
You too.
