Bucky’s following an old tradition here. “A chicken in every pot, a car in every garage” goes back to Herbert Hoover in 1928, but it’s not original with him. The original, roughly, “A chicken in every peasant’s pot, every Sunday.” is attributed to Henry IV of France, late 16th Century.

How long is a Galactic President’s term? It looks like he has to run for re-election every year. What, no term limits?

Used in the children’s science TV show “321 Contact.” No kidding.
