His “yes, we can” should translate as etiam nos es validus or better still etiam, sic licet.

i agree that ‘etiam, sic licemus’ would be better, but ‘vero possumus’ is actually ‘in truth, we are able’ not ‘in truth to be able’

‘possumus’ is the 1st person plural, not the infinitive

To replace this motto and to give him a new name, I would substitute the Latin phrase “Veto Possumus”, which means Veto the Possum. I would suggest The Possum as his new nickname. He has a grin resembling that of a Possum eating excrement. These young androids who are going to vote for him so that he can “change” things are going to have a rude awakening, similar to those who followed Hitler, and later found out that Germany suffered as a result. Veto the Possum, or Veto Barack Oppossum! Vero Possumus doesn’t mean what Obama says it means.

"Possumus" is the proper first person plural, present tesne. "Vero" is a bit stronger than "etiam"; they could've gone with "omnino" but that would be a bit heavy, I suppose. Besides, nec verbum verbo curabis reddere fidus interpres. Additionally, you could have looked it up in literally five minutes. You should be embarrassed, as should your teacher.
