The image isn't at all illustrative. It's just some chick dressed up in a black armband; so what?

I think the idea is that a student council president wouldn't normally be dressed in a military uniform.

original thread. Was open for 6 months, before one was just kinda rolled into it.

I don't think it is a good picture.

Please.

I'm going to call JAFAAC and go for the:

Motion to pull

Not because you can't tell she's the student council president, but because there is no actual indication of power. For all we know, she could be part of a cosplay club, the way anime goes about these things...

Opposed to the pull, more than enough context from the image to understand what is going on.

How? She's just sitting there. The secretary isn't doing anything. There is no "absurdly powerful" there, just the "student council" part.

If we could get the part from Code Geass where she mobilizes everyone on a whim to find... oh, what was it? I can't remember what they were looking for, but it got you a kiss or a date or something from the student council member of your choice, and everybody went along with it without question. Sadly, I don't think you could encapsulate that in only pictures...

[up] That wouldn't work well because you can't tell she is a member of the Council or Student Council President.

Anyways vote no on pulling the pic.

Voting no to pull.

It was selected in a thread. It is not perfect, it could be done better, but it's not bad enough to pull with no worthy alternatives present.

I personally think the image Raso gave is better than the current one...

I like Raso's suggestion. I also really need to read that at some point.

I want to say the one Raso suggested is elsewhere, and that's why it wasn't chosen originally.

No it was on this page however it wasn't readable on the page, I chopped off the right speech bubble and it comes out a lot better. (then I found the source and posted the one that's currently on the page and people liked that one.)

The one that's currently on the page might go good on Student Council President which is imageless.

[up] That sounds like a plan, if you haven't already done it.

I have no opinion other than that the current page image is rather weak.

I love Raso's new image! No idea what manga it's from, though.

Yeah its a hentai... the thing is pretty much a straight comedy that plays with a ton of tropes if the thing ever gets fully translated I should make a page on it only 2,4,6,8-9-10 are translated its all short stories so not sure how to write that up. (even the sex is funny as hell)

Another support for #16.

I remember that smut. Kinda dumb and embarrassing to read actually...

Support 16's suggestion for this page. The other page is fine.

I'm gonna call this one part-way. The pic is moved from Absurdly Powerful Student Council to Student Council President and the pages are tagged to reflect this, but I'm gonna start a new thread for A Nazi by Any Other Name because that pic's pretty good by its own right. Locking up.

EDIT: Wait, I may be misreading something. Are we talking about trying to do what I was talking about, or using the "Nazi saluting" pic above for this page?

I think you ARE misreading something. The idea is to have the suggested pic from post 16 on Absurdly Powerful Student Council with the caption being "A Nazi by Any Other Name ", and move the image to Student Council (which you already did).
