[Keystone Phil]

Though I do believe that we should commemorate our past Presidents, this is probably a waste of time and resources. Minting these coins obviously costs money and since coined money has been a notorious failure, this is unnecessary. I will oppose this bill.

[Sam Spade]

I would like a friendly amendment first to correct the spelling and grammar errors in this bill.

I will oppose this legislation as well for reasons Phil laid out above.

[Ebowed]

I won't vote in favor.

[PBrunsel]

This is a fine idea, I am fully in support. Just remember to get my mustache right, I don't want to look like Geraldo Rivera.

[Colin]

Even though I'd love to have my lovely visage on a coin I do not, in any way, support this bill for the simple reasons stated by Keystone Phil.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The idea of my face on a coin is bloody terrifying

[Keystone Phil]

Ok, are there any other former Presidents around that want to discuss how they'd be on a coin (even though they are opposed to the idea) or can we move on and vote this down? 

[DownWithTheLeft]

Withdraw due the current president's lack of support and certainly not enough support to override a veto even if passed.  Phil is also right that we have more important legislation, this was supposed to be a Yates Coin Act but that kind of lost its use...

[Sam Spade]

This bill is withdrawn.  Going to next on the list.
