==="Citizen Kang"===
While out fishing, Homer is abducted by Kang and Kodos. They demand that Homer take them to Earth's leader, but Homer informs them of the [[1996 United States presidential election]] and says the winner could be either [[Bill Clinton]] or [[Bob Dole]]. Kang and Kodos kidnap both Dole and Clinton and place them in [[suspended animation]], assuming their forms through "bio-duplication" to ensure that one of them will become the next leader. Before returning Homer to Earth, the aliens soak him in [[rum]], so nobody will believe him.

Most voters seem to be oblivious to the strange behaviors of Kang and Kodos in disguise, much to Homer's vexation. On the day before the election, Homer stumbles upon the badly hidden spaceship, hijacks it and releases Dole and Clinton from suspended animation. Both candidates agree they should put aside their differences and join forces to defeat the aliens and bring about a new age of bipartisanship, but Homer accidentally ejects them into space. Homer crashes the spaceship into the Capitol and unmasks the aliens, revealing the candidates' true identities to the public. However, despite being exposed, Kang and Kodos declare to the people that the [[two-party system]] means they still have to choose one of them, mocking a bystander's suggestion of voting for a [[third-party candidate]] instead. Kang is subsequently elected [[President of the United States]], ruling as a monarchical tyrant and enslaving the American population in order to build a giant death ray. Marge complains about the work, but Homer remarks, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!"
