The US President Barack Obama has used his authority in a ceremony inside the White House to pardon a pair of 48-pound Thanksgiving turkeys, Mac and Cheese.
The 53-year-old President cracked before the official pardon that what he is going to announce will be the most talked about executive action this month, Fox News reported.
He added that he is taking an action fully within his legal authority, the same kind of action taken by Democrat and Republican presidents before him, to spare the lives of two turkeys Mac and Cheese.
According to the online poll that was set up by the White House to let voters choose between Team Mac and Team Cheese, Cheese took the top honor, with Mac gobbling his way into second place.
According to Mac's official profile, his selling points included "a grand champion style strut" and a gobble that's "got a country ring to it," while Cheese's profile says that he "is a feather-shaker with a rhythmic gobble that loves to cheese it up for the cameras."
President George H.W. Bush was the first modern president to offer an official turkey pardon on Nov. 14, 1989.
