However, luckily the world still wants to look to America once the wanker in charge gets his marching orders next year - the next President will be welcomed back to the world stage with a resounding sigh of relief!

She deserves it and it would give Spanky apoplexy.

(115,681 posts)10. The Nobel Committee doesn't take nominations from the general public.
According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a nomination is considered valid if it is submitted by a person who falls within one of the following categories:
Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of states
Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
Members of lInstitut de Droit International
Members of the Executive Committee of the international board of the Womens International League for Peace and Freedom
University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February)
Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

So a petition would be useless. I have to think that some of these people or groups would want to nominate her, though.
