Make Barack Obama an honorary UK Citizen and pay him to be our Prime Minister.

What the petition asks
We should invite Barack Obama to become our Prime Minister, give him an honorary citizenship as part of the deal. That way he could actually sort this county out and get us back on track. Not to mention everything he has done for Equality in the USA.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
In any case, as you might already know, the Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.
After a general election, the Queen decides who to invite to form a Government. In practice, this is usually the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in a general election. You can find out more about this here:
