Some folks across the pond want Barack Obama to move out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and into 10 Downing Street.

Last week, British Twitter exploded with people asking President Obama to come to the United Kingdom and become their prime minister:

@Kenna_Lily I would personally row a boat across the Atlantic to go and collect him. Great idea. — Steven Williams (@Steven993Sw) November 11, 2016

I don't really care for US politics that much, but Obama's speeches are fucking hype. Can he come to the UK and excite things a little? — aWildWatermelon (@aWildWatermelon) November 8, 2016

How ace would it be if barrack Obama was just ditching America to come over and be prime minister. I could deal with that — rhorie (@rhoriexx) November 8, 2016

Can we sign some sort of petition to get Obama to come be our prime minister? A do not care how impossible that is lets make it happen — Amba 🐾 (@stotty_x) November 9, 2016

I have an idea.

Let’s find a way to have Obama as Prime Minister and then let’s have all the cool Americans move here for 4 years. Yeah? — Sarah Parmenter (@sazzy) November 9, 2016

Is there any way the UK can adopt Obama and have him as our prime minister? Pls @usa — Sammy Dey (@_sammydeyx_) November 9, 2016

Barack Obama to become the next Prime Minister. Be the greatest thing to walk into Westminster since Ali G. — RD (@RD16_) November 8, 2016

i miss obama already can he like come to the uk and become prime minister or king and then fight trump one on one — i miss tøp (@HotPotatoHemmo) November 9, 2016

The surge in posts even inspired a hashtag, #ObamaForPM.

I want Obama move to UK and became the Prime Minister of Great British. #ObamaforPM 🇬🇧 — Olivia Rowcliffe (@OliviaRowcliffe) November 12, 2016

Obama hasn’t been specific about his 2017 plans. But it seems he might return to his political roots and focus on communities.

“I’ll go back to doing the kinds of work that I was doing before, just trying to find ways to help people,” he told middle-schoolers last year, as reported by USA Today. “Help young people get educations, and help people get jobs, and try to bring businesses into neighborhoods that don’t have enough businesses. That’s the kind of work that I really love to do.”

The Obama family plans to stay in Washington, D.C., until Sasha, their younger daughter, finishes high school. The family will rent a swanky house in D.C.’s posh Kalorama neighborhood. So a move to London, at least at the moment, doesn’t seem likely.

But hey, if Donald Trump could become president, then anything could happen, right?
