Every American President must prove two things: that they were born in the United States, and that they did not descend directly from hell.

President Obama spent years fighting accusations that he wasn't born in the United States. And now, after Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones argued that both he and Clinton were demons, he was forced to fight the other.

During a rally for Hillary Clinton in Greensboro, North Carolina, yesterday, Obama countered Jones' surprisingly popular allegations that he was a demon from hell.

"There’s a guy on the radio who apparently ... said me and Hillary are demons," Obama told the crowd. "Said we smell like sulfur. Ain’t that something!"

Obama then proceeded to take the ultimate demon test, and sniffed himself for any trace of sulfur.

While the president claimed he wasn't a demon, his test yet to be independently verified.
