Even if you were rich and powerful, could you establish an international nonprofit in less than 4 days? The Haiti earthquake happened on Jan 12,  2010 at 4:30 PM.  The Bush Clinton Foundation was founded on Jan 16. How is this possible? Even if you are ultra powerful and elite and everything is immediately rubber stamped,  and nothing went through the usual approval process, it would take a LOT of time to put together.  The standard form to form for a 501c3 is 28 pages  long and often requires 6 months for completion.  Now imagine how much more complex it would get if you are creating an international nonprofit with two families.  You would have to determine who is legally responsible,  where financing comes from, who your local contacts are, what your mission is, and thousands of other considerations just to complete the paperwork. This then needs to be reviewed by a lawyer. Have you ever seen the pace lawyers work? Are we to believe Bill Clinton called the Bushes Tuesday evening about his foundation idea, and everything was all set to go and registered by Saturday? Almost seems like they were ready for this. Your thoughts.
