If you’d like to get out of school, a signed letter from the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination is probably a good way to get an excused absence.
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday afternoon tweeted a letter she apparently signed for 9-year-old Ollie Olsen.

Just in case Ollie’s principal was skeptical of the authenticity of the signature, Clinton also included an asterisk with “really!†on the note, though the tweet from her official account is probably even stronger evidence.
The good news is, even if Ollie’s school takes a hard line on attendance, the kid at least now has a pretty unique campaign souvenir.
