Ready For 2028?

It could be a first on many fronts. Eugene Resnick, the first Jewish president. Eugene Resnick, the first openly gay president. Eugene Resnick, the first immigrant president (his family moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., from Moscow when he was 4). These identities were soldered together in the crucible of the 2004 presidential election -- which he followed intently -- to create the man Resnick is today.

What question are you looking forward to Larry King asking you in 2028?

"So, how will you go about amending the Constitution so that you can actually be president of the United States?"

Yeah, about that: You're a politically active American who can't become president because you weren't born here .

By 2028, I'll have been living here for about 35 years. By that point our country will have progressed so much in terms of multiculturalism and integrating immigrants into society that I think it would probably be out of the Constitution.

What's your most notable characteristic?

A combination of ambition and energy.

Your favorite song to drive to?

Bob Sinclair's "World, Hold On."

If a film was made about your life, what would its title be and who would play you?

"Ocean Parkway Memoirs," named after the street I lived on for 14 years in Brooklyn. I'm told I resemble Joaquin Phoenix minus the lip.
