Portrait of Bill Clinton Bill Clinton 50th Annual National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation (1997)

Well, Jack the turkey actually strutted in front of some of the would-be voters and broke in line. Lincoln asked his son: "Why is your turkey at the polls? Does he vote?" Without hesitation, Tad said: "He's not old enough yet."
Tomorrow, 45 million turkeys will make the ultimate sacrifice for America's feast – but not this one. I'm granting this turkey a permanent reprieve. After many years in the coop, he's on his way to a farm in Virginia to bask in the sun, collect his hard-earned pension, and enjoy his golden years.
And that's one less turkey in Washington. Happy Thanksgiving.
