Note from the National Archivist
These documents appear to be part of a collection of unofficial protocols during President Luthor's tenure. While they were produced from various departments, they are collected here, due to what seems to be their inter- related nature.
From: The POTUS To: The directors of NASA and the GPO, the Vice President, and the Secretary of State
I wish to clear up some misunderstandings.
1. Charts of governmental structure, even those circulated solely internally, are not to show any of the following:
The President reporting to the Men in Black, the Furies, Warrior Angel, or Martha Kent The director of NASA receiving departmental revenue from "The Makers of Spandex(" The Navy described as "fish procurement for those cats" (It only happened once and did not involve the entire Navy. Get over it.)
2. The President's daily clothing choices are actually not subject to a two- thirds ratification by members of the Cabinet. Nor are any other issues related to dress.
3. I know who the "internal source who requested anonymity" is. Furthermore, I did not do any kind of "very disturbing Lex dance" when the deficit was paid. I just got up and stretched, albeit vigorously. There's nothing wrong with humming while stretching.
4. What are we giving Martha for her birthday?

Mr. President,
As your advisors, we wish to bring some matters to your attention.
1. You put a moratorium on human cloning, aside from creating individual organs. Therefore, it is inadvisable for you to ask your Chief Science Advisor and your Constitutional Advisor to "just as a matter of theoretical interest, figure out if creating a clone would get around term limits." We get to hear things.
2. The President is respectfully asked to bear in mind that he is in a position of great power, which means great responsibility. Should he muse out loud during a Department of Defense meeting that he wondered about making military vehicles into transformers, without mentioning that he wondered that when he was six years old, those listening may not be able to recognize it as a conversational item in this context, not a command. Should said POTUS then forget all about it and send the next morning's cost estimate back with a notation "What were you drinking, Cmdr. Rodriguez?" and ordering him to undergo a full physical and psychological examination, the situation is bound to get complicated.
3. We don't think you've really forgotten about your diabolical plans to make purple the official dress uniform color for the Armed Services. Even if now you're just thinking shirts or ties. See reference to "we get to hear things."
4. Let's talk over breakfast.
