Lines: 19 Approved: military@amd.com From: Will Martin [ This is going pretty far astray from the Charter, but I'm curious too. -CDR] There was an amusing item on the news the other night; Bush was visiting some elementary school, and sitting amongst a group of tots. One of them didn't believe he was the President, so Bush got out his wallet to show the kid some ID. Ended up handing him his American Express card, which finally convinced the kid (who later said he didn't believe that was the Pres because "he looked taller on TV"). Anyway, the incident got me to wondering: As Commander-in-Chief, does the President get issued a military ID Card? Does he have PX privileges? Regards, Will wmartin@stl-06sima.army.mil
