"Very ingenious solution to a long-smoldering problem."

"Daffy Duck for President" is a nice modern-day Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck cartoon that is meant to be educational. Bugs tries to teach Daffy the fundamentals of the United States Constitution and the American system of government, which Daffy of course thinks he already knows. Yep, after all these years, Daffy still hasn't done away with his obnoxiousness. He and Bugs play off of each other quite well - as they had done several decades beforehand - with great voice acting by Joe Alaskey.

"Daffy Duck for President" is not an outrageously funny cartoon, but one scene I do find memorable. Right after the opening titles, an excited Daffy sings altered lyrics to the popular song "We're in the Money".

The dedication of this cartoon goes to the brilliant animation director Chuck Jones, who passed away in 2002. In the spirit of Chuck, this cartoon utilizes the most minute facial expressions and physical gestures to obtain laughs from the audience.
