To be delivered to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City Council

We request the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets be renamed "President Barack H. Obama Avenue." Any addresses on that stretch of Fifth Avenue should be changed accordingly.

    It's a bit early for Purim jokes.

    The petition’s author, Elizabeth Rowin, told Newsweek she “honestly started it as a joke,” but that the idea has drawn support from “several” unspecified members of the city council. “I saw a comedian joke about how it would make Trump so mad if it was named after former President Obama and thought why not,” she said.

    Despite that, one issue notably stands in the way: Barack Obama is still alive, and New York City street names are only granted posthumously. “I am sure the conditions can be changed,” Rowin told Newsweek. “there are two streets in LA named after former President Obama. These laws are arbitrary and can be worked around.”
