Bi-Partisan Pie

Yes, food should never make you have to take sides.  However, I don't believe in changing the titles from recipes as I found them.  I don't really know if our former president really has eaten this pie, let alone if it's his favorite.  All I know is that this is my new favorite pie.  It's easy, as, well, pie.  And, it's the perfect blend of tart and sweet. It tastes like a lemon bar in pie form.  You won't be able to leave it alone no matter your political leanings.
