The Cremation Amendment will be a good start, but we still need to prepare. Preparedness — because those zombies aren’t going to kill themselves. We need at least one more amendment.
It occurs to me that allowing Congress to approve the Secretary of Zombie Affairs, as is commonly the case with presidential appointments, creates a possible problem that needs to be formally addressed. Just as we once created an amendment to allow the President to move the site of the U.S. government in an emergency, I believe we will need an amendment allowing for immediate appointment of a Secretary of Zombie Affairs. In fact, that whole congressional approval requirement may need to be amended to allow for emergency appointments during apocalyptic times. If zombies eat the Secretary of State, we can’t sit around waiting for enough members of Congress to battle their way through the streets to begin arguing about the next appointment.
The Emergency Presidential Appointment Amendment obviously ought to be approved as quickly as possible. We can’t wait around like we have with the electoral college for the next Al Gore. There should always be a few working brains in the U.S. government.
