...simply getting onto the board, somehow, some way, without regard to a particular position or to their actual ability to do the best possible job. You could attribute this to their extreme passion about the organization as a whole and their eagerness to contribute to it in some capacity??but cynical student group members (and even less cynical ones like myself) are more likely to see the candidate as being extremely passionate about the appearance of power, and being eager to contribute to his or her résum?...

Effectively, it would give the President of the United States the power to demand two years of potentially unpaid labor in any capacity??including military service—from nearly every man and woman in the country between the ages of 18 and 26. At that point, a draft would hardly be necessary. The President could have a cost-free standing army at his disposal...
