Another option, which no one wants to consider, is to rotate Presidents on various bills. I mean, seriously. Just because George Washington appears on one $1 bill, does he really have to appear on all of them?

I tend to agree with you about waiting until after the next election, but if anything is going to happen, Bush is going to need to win. In any event, Jackson had his faults, but I would not like to see Jackson decanonized. In any event, the idea no one talks about, but that I think would probably win quick approval would be to place Reagan on the Dollar Coin. Now I know many conservatives wouldn’t be too excited about that just because it would accelerate acceptance of the Dollar Coin (in effect it would cause Conservatives to jump on board the dollar coin.) Also, it would be a way to place Reagan on what will probably be one of the most acescdent pieces of coinage. Well potentially ascendent, but probably only if a ex-president gets placed on the coin.
