Just imagine winning a contest that would allow you to be president for 1 day. Among the other duties you will also be given the opprotunity to write 3 executive orders that are guarenteed not to be overturned. What would you do? Remember, the orders will stick forever. And how would you handle the war on terrorism and the Isreal/Palastine conflict while in office for a day?

2. anyone given the death penalty should be executed within 180 days.
3. 2 years mandatory military service.
Anyone convicted of terrorism should be executed within 48 hours.
Them folks been fighting forever. Nothing we can do will cause them to stop.

1) All Federal employees will be cut back to 6 paid holidays per year...(like normal people)
2) All members of Congress must undergo background checks, any violations will be grounds for dismissal, if they are caught lying....their tongues will be removed.
3) President Rembrandt get a large pay raise and whopping pension....
1. Conservatives living in california have three days to pack up there belongings and guns to escape before it is cut loose and turned loose to drift or sink around in the pacific whatever it doesnt matter once its cut loose
2.Increase the pension for ex prez's by the name of sawz and increase all democrats taxes and make the free people tax exempt.
3. Build up our Military so WHEN all hell breaks loose we will be able to keep hell from coming to America
and as to the Isreal thing see #3
SO VOTE FOR ME and become a free person with a really cool beach with lots of bikini babes serving refreshments. while you fish for all sorts of tasty fish where Kalifornia used to be

2. No party affiliations will be allowed to be listed on the ballot or in the voting machine, only the names of the candidates, who will be listed in random order. If you want to vote for the candidate of a particular party and you don't know who it is, tough.
3. Tax law will be streamlined so that a person with normal intelligence and a (real) high school education will be able to understand all there is to know about personal taxes after reading a booklet of no more than 20 pages, in 12 pt type face or greater. Corporate tax law will be similarly streamlined so that a person with normal intelligence and a (real) college education will be able to understand all there is to know after reading a book of no more than 100 pages in 12 pt type face or greater.
Now, my solution to the middle east problem: All Jews will be moved into the pre-67 borders. All Muslims will move out of the pre-67 borders and into the new state of Palestine. All Christians, other faiths, and non-believers move to the US. Only Jews allowed into Israel from now on, only Muslims allowed into Palestine. Everyone moves out of the City of Jerusalem, which will be demolished, the building stones crushed and scattered, and nuclear waste dumped so nobody will even consider living there for the next 100,000 years.
2. I'd order up a strategic military plan to fight a war on drugs in a similar manner as the war on terror is now being executed -- beginning with an announcement that hard drug production is as heinous an international crime as terrorism, and following up with military incursions to destroy the infrastructure at the sources, including appropriate air campaigns to spray chemicals to kill the plants in the fields, destroy the processing centers and supplying necessary support to border and coast guard organizations to disrupt the import of drugs to us and our allies -- along with the same types of non-military measures now being used against terrorists including the disruption of their money and banking services and confiscation of their profits and assets wherever possible and the arrest and trial of drug kingpins. After all, if we can justifiably disrupt the terrorist money and poppy crops that propped up the infrastructure of Afghanistan, the argument that these other countries rely on drug crops for their economy falls apart equally well. (I know there are lots of criticisms to be made of this "plan's" ambitious scope, including the sheer size of the operation, so I'll duck.)
3. I'd pardon a few folks, and I'd give high citizenship medals to people like Rudy in New York, and Bill & Bob, the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous for their accomplishments. There are others, but I can't think of them at the moment. Maybe Michael Eisner and posthumously to Walt Disney for showing American capitalists how a business should be run, and one to George Bush for showing us how to respond in a domestic crisis of unequalled proportions, probably since Lincoln and the Civil War.
The 2nd Amendment is about security, not hunting. Long live the gun shows, and reasonable access to FFLs. Join the NRA -- I'm a Life Member.
2. Completely abolish the income tax, and specify that congress can only collect taxes for military expenditures, by using a Federal sales tax, leaving all other taxing to state and local governments.
3. Return to the pre 17th amendment constitution, and have Senators appointed by State legislatures.
Happiness is a warm gun
2. Stop foreign aid to hostile countries.
3. Outlaw socialism or any like oppressive idealism in this country! This includes old politicos that have brought this down on the U.S. citizen!
Never ask why but only the value of.
2- No more B.S. SSI benefits...I am sick of seeing people on disability SSI that has nothing wrong with them but lazyness.
3- In order to be a U.S. citizen you must be able to speak fluent English.
4- Run the government like a business instead of a charity. No more sending billions of U.S. taxdollars to other countrys to be used against us.
5- No more bringing people from other countrys to the U.S. to use taxdollars to educate them while paying for thier residence,cars.ect. with taxdollars.
6- Homosexuality would be illegal and anyone trying to teach it to children would face the death penality.
7- There would be no Democrats or Republicans...You would vote for the person. Four years maximum term for any elected offical.
8- Prisons would be like prisons....Not Holiday Inns.
9- Every household would be required to have at least one firearm....That sure would discourage B&E.
10- You would be allowed to use deadly force to defend life or property...I think this is already true in some states.
2 Eliminate the IRS and ATF and 99% of the government alphbet agencies.
3 Make all congressman live in barracks and recieve the same pay and benifits of a US Army private. and every time they were reelcted they would go up a paygrade until they maxed out at E-5 pay
2 Ban Lawyers from public office. (I thought about having all of them killed )
3 Make all congressman live in barracks and recieve the same pay and benifits of a US Army private. and every time they were reelcted they would go up a paygrade until they maxed out at E-5 pay.
all gold,silver,plat. and us currency would now be considered contraband, my troops would collect and deposit your wares in a place of my choice.
should be able to do that in 1 day.
Then I would sail away in search of a safe harbor indeed.
Clouder..
I am a public high school teacher and teach government and must commend you all. I could do no better (don't get upset about the public school part, I am a conservative, pro-Second Amendment NRA life member. I am the only one in the socialist studies department that matches that description but its a start).
1. I would start with the root of the problem. I believe that most
bad laws are based on violations and misunderstandings of the
Constitution.
So, I would reinstitute the power and authority of the
enumerated powers, Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.
An examination of the enumerated powers reveals that most
government programs are unconstitutional.
2. Require that all bills introduced in Congress comply with the
enumerated powers in Article 1, Section 8
3. Abolish the income tax (16th Amendment)
If I had a 4th wish, it would have to do with what is taught in public schools...
"FDR was a socialist..."
You stated that very eloquently. We need more like you in our school systems.
Hang in there and keep your present morals.

Declare that all lawyers licensened to practice law are members
of the judical branch of government. Under the seperation of powers doctine they would then be unable to serve in either of the
other two branches of government.
With most lawyers out of the legislature there would no longer
be masses of lawyer full employment acts & the laws would be
written so that they could be understood.
2) All hot chicks must now be licensed under the new "Office of Hot Chicks". President Bullzeye will preside and pass judgement.
3) While in public, anytime the word "boogie" is uttered, everyone must promptly echo the declaration of "boogie!", and proceed to dance like a fool. Shaking your booty, or throwing your hands in the air like you just don' care are also acceptable. Boogieing will continue for a full 30 seconds.
