Quite right. That way he can make a nuisance of himself, bugger off to the US for a few years while all the real work gets done, come back, make an even bigger nuisance of himself, order a FUBAR assault that get loads of people killed for no cost, set the guy who pretty much won the whole campaign up to take a major political fall, start a civil war, have aforementioned guy who helped win the war killed, waltz back into the government, become prime minister for 11 years and become president for 14 years before retiring comfortably from the presidency at the age of 91.
All hypotheticaly speaking, of course.
