Ms. Jones telling her friends that she was president of the United States

Explanation:

If Jones tells his friends that she was president of the United States, since she never was, she could be hurting the Stolen Valor Act and be punished for it. The Stolen Valor Act is a US federal law that prohibits people from lying about being a member of the US military, of US policy, or of receiving any government award to gain advantage in any given situation.

Jones has never been president of the states, but if she lies about it, claiming it was, she will be breaking a law and could be legally punished for it.

good question. i'll be looking into that. (this is a joke sir)
