Mesquite boy named President

Twelve-year-old Sterling Watson, of Mesquite, Texas was named President of the US for a day thanks to the Make A Wish Foundation.
With the help of a dozen or so government agencies, Sterling, who was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma, appointed members of his family to his cabinet, was greeted by the US Army’s 3rd Infantry Division Band with “Hail to the Chief” and presented the division’s soldiers with ceremonial gifts – red pencils printed with “President Sterling Watson.”
Sterling also gave a speech to the US Postal Service, received a briefing at the Department of Health and Human Services, visited 150 employees at U.S. Customs and Border Protection and held a press conference to name one of the agency’s new canines. He chose the name Yeller.
“It is only in America that a little boy from Mesquite, Texas, can wish of someday being President of the United States and actually have that wish come true,” Sterling said after being inaugurated.
