The Game of President Using Deuces Rules
- This is a major variant of President using Deuces rules.
The usual rules of Deuces apply, with the following President game features:
- The first player to clear all his cards becomes the President for the next round. The players next to the new President can follow the President's last play if possible (singleton, pair, three of a kind, 5 cards). If no one can follow the President's last play or choose not to do so even when able (the player immediately next to the President has a strong incentive not to follow), the player next to the President gains control and may start a new sequence of his own. Eventually, this will produce the Vice-President, followed by the Vice-Bitch. The last player remaining becomes the Bitch for the next round.
- The first game proceeds without anyone being President, Vice-President, Vice-Bitch and Bitch.
- Subsequent games involve the following:
- President passes his lowest 2 cards to the Bitch. The Bitch passes his highest 2 cards to President.
- Vice-President passes his lowest 1 card to Vice-Bitch. Vice-Bitch passes his highest 1 card to Vice-President.
- A variant to the rule is where President passes any 2 cards to the Bitch, after receiving cards. This can make a difference as his 2 lowest cards may form a 5-card hand.

Famous quotes containing the words game, president and/or rules:
“The first requirement of politics is not intellect or stamina but patience. Politics is a very long run game and the tortoise will usually beat the hare.”
—John Major (b. 1943)
“Senator Albert B. Fall: “We have been praying for you, Sir.” President Wilson: “Which way, Senator?””
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs ... I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb’s bleat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
