" I'm 36, but I'd make a horrid President. I'd be tempted to bring back dueling as a method of "getting along" with Congress."

Not so bad - at least you'll be on the right side of RKBA. :)

Plus, duelling is between 2 consenting adults. There is already precedent that any action, even one that might result in death by STD, is OK between 2 consenting adults. If they don't both consent to the duel, then it's just murder. I think you might be onto something here.

Acts of Capitalism between consenting Adults.

I'd approve a Right to Life, but I'd want a Right to End My Life as well. After all, it is MY life. Either way, it isn't a Federal issue, but a State issue. At least, unless we Amend the Constitution.

Dueling used to be an acceptable means of settling irreconcilable differences. Even Vice Presidents engaged in it, although the Hamilton/Burr thing is still a bit murky to me. I know Hamiltons mechinations were ticking Burr off, but just imagine the look would be on Schumers face if I were to slap with a leather gauntlet and toss it at his feet.
