Some may feel our current president fits the criterea. He's president.
He's a writer, wrote a book about himself, even though it was not quite a literary masterpriece.
He won a Nobel Peace prize for something they were hoping he would do in the future, he just hasn't been able to get around to it yet.
A saint? Well that he aint. But that's just one letter short. Is that close enough?
