Duck and the other farm animals each have chores. They get dirty. They get stinky, too. When Duck decides he's had enough, he calls an election to toss the boss--Farmer Brown--out! But, Duck has quite a surprise waiting for him when he discovers running a farm is hard work! So, he decides to run for Governor...and then, President! His staff makes posters! He make speeches (that only other ducks can understand), and he appears on CNN and late-night television playing a saxophone (sound familiar?). The vote is counted! Does the country go crackers and elect Duck-- President?

When you're heard it all on CNN election coverage, check out Duck for President for some real laughs. You might even learn a few things about elections and who NOT to vote for!
