The current honorary chairman in small American City was run by a math teacher in the name of his four - year - old nephew, because she was very kind to people.
Lincoln was elected by the decision of the Fair Haven town's Parliament and is expected to serve for a one-year period, starting on Tuesday.
Among the tasks of three - year - old mammal is the wearing of a ceremonial dress and parade at district events, such as parades.
The town of Fair Haven numbers a population of 2,500, and there is no one at the municipality's helm.
According to the local elder, the idea of replacing people with animals in Baski came first as a way to raise money for building a children's playground, but authorities later decided to turn it into a civic programme to teach young children what government means.
