A Reno man has filed a lawsuit to keep Hillary Clinton off the Nevada ballot (assuming she’s the nominee), because he believes the U.S. Constitution prohibits women from the presidency due to its consistent use of the male pronoun.
Wallace, who describes himself as a civil rights fighter, said his lawsuit, filed Friday in Washoe District Court against the secretary of state, is meant to force changes so that “women can legally be U.S. president.”
Despite his “good intentions,” the article cites some clearly skeptical legal scholars. But my favorite part of the article is this:
He is a retired engineer and a Democrat, who once ran for the Sparks City Council. During his campaign, he advocated that a snowshed be built over Interstate 80 from Donner Pass to Kingvale, Calif.
That would be awesome.

Is a "snowshed" like a roof?
Hells yeah. It's worth noting that that section of I-80 is unusable during much of the winter unless you have chains, snow-tires and/or 4WD. During blizzards, it can be completely shut down. (It goes up to 7-something thousand feet, and gets a lot of precipitation, hence the multitudes of ski resorts.)
Is such a thing feasible or precedented?
Good question.
it would be funny if the snowshed collapsed.
We could build a snowshed for the snowshed to avoid such a possibility.
