Jury duty may scupper Henry the Eighth's trip Stateside

Moneygall's Henry Healy has possibly the best argument ever why he should be excused from jury duty - he's mostly likely going to be invited to a party in the White House that falls when he's been requested to turn up for his civic duty at Tullamore court.
The eighth cousin of US President Barack Obama, Henry Healy received the first jury duty request of his lifetime last Monday. After realising the March 20 date clashed with a probable trip to America that will include celebrations in New York, the White House in Washington and Boston, he immediately filled in a reply form detailing why he'd prefer to be excused from his civic duty this time around and sent it off on Tuesday. He has yet to hear back as to whether his request to be excused has been accepted.
