[RushCrush]

Declare open season on liberals.

[KJC1]

If you were POTUS, what would you do about the WOT?

Didn't see that mentioned.

[GSlob]

In the spirit of "he governs best who governs least" the best one could do there is to play Mordac the Preventer from Dilbert^tm cartoon.

[M. Peach]

Although I agree with much of what you said, I thought you needed congress and the senate to go along with your ideas. Just a minor detail.....

[Uriah_lost]

I would write up an "enemies list" and see how many I could off before I got caught. If I got past about a thousand I would declare a national holiday and not tell anyone what it was for.

[BJungNan]

Immediately order the Joint Chiefs to put troops on the north and south border to defend it.

[Tired of Taxes]

Well, this is fun. :-)

First, I would seal the border between the U.S. and Mexico by hiring U.S. citizens to build a wall, and I would support legislation denying government services (such as education and healthcare) to illegal aliens.

Also, I would seek to raise the pay and increase benefits to the men and women serving in our military.

Next, I would look to dismantle certain agencies beginning with the Dept. of Education.

Then I would set my sights on eliminating the automatic withdrawal of taxes and, instead, require everyone to pay their share once a year. And I would move Tax Day from April to November, right around Election Day, so when people are voting, they'll be thinking of that big check they have to write out to the government.

There are many other things I'd do, but above is a start.

[Texasforever]

It's good to be king huh?

[JLS]

If I were to become president, the very first thing I would do, would be to declare personhood to the unborn immediately upon fertilization.

This is an interesting idea. It might work with the current US Supreme Court or it might fail.

I would then go about placing atourney generals throughout the country who would then prosecute the abortionists.

Presidents don't appoint attorneys general throughout the country. So perhaps you mean US attorneys?

I would work to repeal NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT and any other unconstitutional trade treatise.

So you are a 1930s style Republican. Well the Smoot-Hawley tariff which hurt trade in a manner similarly to what you propose led to the largest Dim majority in history, gave us FDR, and all the social programs you rail against. One more attempt at this would likely give us socialized medicine, socialized day care, etc. Are you really in favor of socialized medicine?

I would get us out of the WTO and the UN. I would force the UN headquarters out of New York.

Well I see your complaint about the UN which is clearly anti-American. The WTO adjudicates trade disputes and I have not seen evidence it is biased against the US, so it is hard to see the link between the two.

I would repeal all firearms legislation, beginning with Federal Firearms Act of 1968.

The problem is that a president can not repeal any law. That would require Congress.

I would put a moratorium on immigration from problem countries for at least 5 years. I would seal the borders and begin deportation proceedings immediately. I would fix the XIV ammendment so as not to allow anchor babies.

Fixing the anchor baby loophole is important. We already have deportations going on.

What say you?

I would:

1. Index the basis of capital gains so people did not pay taxes on inflation. That is something I believe a president could do the first day in office.

2. Try to do away with some of the trappings of the office to make the president seems less imperial or royal.

[thoughtomator]

I would declare capital punishment for failure to properly use paragraphs! That's always annoyed the hell out of me. And I'd have serving girls feed me grapes on the dais.

[staytrue]

I say, you need to use paragraphs, quit writing vanities and understand that POTUS is neither a king or dictator.

[claudiustg]

Call up the Iranian President and tell him he will be no-shit sorry if he doesn't stop the putrid anti-Semitic stuff and the nuclear program, and I'd start the countdown on these creeps.

Close the the southern border and then start a program of attrition on the existing illegal population by stepped up enforcement of existing laws.

Activate 2 more Army Divisions.

[martin_fierro]

I would issue a proactive Presidential Blanket Pardon for martin_fierro.

[9999lakes]

Add Vouchers -- Add them to the TOP of your list.

And end the War on Drugs, and you have my vote.

[chapin2500]

Two words; Flat Tax.

[colorcountry]

I'd quit.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

If I were President, I'd fire all the senators and start anew. I'd also do the same in the House of Reps. Mostly because Congress has entirely too much control over the lives of the people in the U.S. and they know it and hold it over us like facist dictators. They are ALL irresponsible, squirrely, little, whiny brats that do not even deserve a cup of tea, much less the exhorbitant salary they get, along with the perks the thieves take from the special interest groups...
