Arrgh! What movie is this line from?

With all the craziness of Trump I keep thinking of lines from movies where a latin dictator/strongman is barking weird orders (there are several) but specifically one order I think had someone declaring a new age of consent that ended with "All girls who are under 16... are now 16." Or something along those lines.

I can't find what movie that's from. I narrowed it down to Bananas, Three Amigos, and Zorro the Gay Blade but I still can't nail it down.
Anyone remember this?

The new president of San Marcos.

The line you seek is in this clip, shot on the steps of the Puerto Rico legislature.



All children under 16 years old are now 16 years old.

Full quote:

Esposito: From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!
