> I don’t know. He seems like one of the better Egyptian rulers to me. You don’t see him forcing his people to build a gigantic tomb for him like some of his predecessors did.

The pyramids were built by free contract labours, not slaves. They were basically public works projects designed to give the unemployed jobs. And don’t worry. Very soon a bunch of nice men with guns will meet with His Excelleny and put an already drawn up letter of resignation in front of him. He can either sign it or continue ruling Egypt untill the day he dies. 😉

The press would be able to get some background information on her anyway; the question would be if they could prove the relationship between Bill and Margene started while she was underage.
