Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a blockbuster revelation that has sent shockwaves through the halls of power, the Senate Historical Affairs Committee has uncovered a document that suggests the very foundation of American government was based on a centuries-old practical joke. The document, a handwritten ledger, was found hidden behind a portrait of the illustrious Founding Father, Benjamin Funnypants, in the Old Senate Chamber.

The ledger, which appears to be the original minutes from the secret "First Funny Congress," includes entries that detail how the Founding Fathers, including the legendary figure of President Chuckles McLaughternut, deliberately designed the government's system of checks and balances as an elaborate prank. The purpose? To keep each other entertained during lengthy debates and to ensure that no single person could dominate the political landscape, thus creating the ultimate "power-trip" deterrent.

The entries depict a series of comedic vignettes, including a debate where the proposal of a postal service was shot down because it was deemed too "snail-mail" for the Founding Fathers' liking. Another entry recounts the time when Alexander Hilarious proposed a bill to rename the United States to "The Federal Land of Moo-cow Jokes" and "Baa-lamb Laughs" to confuse foreign diplomats.

In a statement that has since gone viral, the Committee's Chairperson, Senator Guffaw Simpson, declared, "Our democracy was not birthed in solemnity and gravitas, but in the spirit of laughter and jest. These Founding Fathers were not the stodgy, gray-haired figures we've been taught to revere; they were, in fact, a bunch of irreverent pranksters who foresaw the absurdity of human governance and chose to poke fun at the very idea."

The revelation has sparked a national controversy, with political pundits and historians alike debating the implications of this new understanding of American history. Some argue that this could invalidate the entire political structure, while others believe it could lead to a more lighthearted approach to governance.

In response to the controversy, President Belly Laugh has called for a bipartisan commission to "have a good chuckle" over the matter and to determine the best course of action. Meanwhile, the American public is invited to share their funniest political jests on social media using the hashtag #FoundingJokes.

As the nation grapples with this unexpected revelation, one thing is certain: the American political stage is about to get a whole lot funnier—or more absurd, depending on your sense of humor.
