Celebs are promoting a petition to rename the street in front of Trump Tower after Barack Obama, but there's just one tiny problem with their plan

There’s a petition gathering steam over oni MoveOn.org calling for New York City to rename the street in front of Trump Tower after Barack Obama:

Who wants to tell @DonaldJTrumpJr it’s over 200,000 signatures? https://t.co/jymeFHk57l

And celebrities are helping to promote it as they think it would be really funny if Donald Trump lived on “Barack H. Obama Avenue”:

But there’s just one tiny problem with their plan: Obama isn’t dead:

First, the person that petitioners choose to be honored be deceased, and must have made “a significant contribution” to the neighborhood.

Oops.
