Bernie Sanders might have been taking shots at Hillary Clinton during Sunday's debate, but he sat down for a decidedly lighter interview with Time and dropped this little gem: "I do not own a tuxedo. Never have I worn a tuxedo." Nonetheless, the senator from Vermont says he could handle the ceremonial duties associated with the presidency. "These issues are not new to me," he says. "I presided over a city for eight years, the House for 16, and the Senate for nine, so I think I can handle all the ex officio duties that come with being President of the United States." More not-so-serious revelations from the interview:
- On pardoning turkeys: "I like turkey very much, so I'd eat the turkey." But, "I'm not against pardoning turkeys."
- On presiding over the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner: "Ah! Not that! Oh please."
- On dressing up: "I'm not aware in the Constitution—you may be more of a constitutional scholar than I am—I don't recall the black ties. "
On a more policy-driven note, here's how Sanders would pay for his
universal health care plan. (More
