You've been given the power and responsibility of the office of President of the United States for 24 hours ... what would you do?

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

PAAAARRRRTAAAAY!!!!!!!! Get some friends, some interns, and have a good time!

Sorry Bill you have already been President! :P

abolish taxes for good and get a ride to the I.S.S.

Well, since it's twenty-four hours, I'll have to find ways to buy time. For example, I'd write an extremely persuasive speach urging Congress to dismiss itself. Did you know that, while the constitution doesn't specifically say this, Congress can dismiss itself? If so, the president has absolute power. And I'd be in there for life 8) .

Abolish the tax code, retroactive to Jan 1, and set up a National Sales Tax.

Become a religious nut and lead my herd of obese tv-addicts on a crusade for oil...

I would dissolve the government.

4. insitute gulags
5. become president for life
6. kick the U.N. out of new york
7. institute a draft
8. be universally loved

thats about it, god im great.

ask congress to amend the constitution banning the radical right

Invade and conquer Ontario, Canada and Cuba, leave the UN, force all nations on the American continent to join an American Alliance dominated by the US.

I would then probably take Mongolia... you know... just because it's Mongolia and all....come on, Genghis Khan...

disband the cia and nsa and all the rest of those scary secret police fuckers. which naturally leads to the reason why i only get to be president for 24 hours...

Not bad, not bad, but there's a few things you messed up on.

Why would we invade Mexico? All that does is open the gates for more illegal immigrants, that sort of thing. And we wouldn't want all of Canada, just Ontario. The rest of Canada is useless.

Kudos on kicking out the UN, but you forgot the part where America makes it's own Alliance.

Because then Genghis Khan would come back to life and beat the crap out of the Chinese...duh? :wink:

why alliance? all hail the great american empire!!!

Have sex with an intern...read some reports...nothing else could really be done in a day.

Who would want to be President? That's not where the power is. It's all behind the scenes.

Well not so much an Alliance as a forced thing, kind of like what Sparta did when it rose to power, same with Athens...

You know America could provide protection in return for certain goods, that and if they didn't join they would be..."dealt with."

yeah, yeah! the only reason id invade all of canada is for the lush pristine(sp?) forests... to cut down!

I would hold online opinion polls for most popular leaders for administrative agencies such as the FCC, EPS, CIA and FBI. I would fire the old department heads and install the new ones. They couldn't do a worse job than the current crop, and at least they're well liked.

I'd immediately transfer power in Iraq to an interim covernment and turn over military bases and supplies there to trustworthy Iraqis; all US troops would be redeployed to Afghanistan until all the Al Qaeda there (or in the neighboring hills of Pakistan) are caught.

I would sell cigarette companies licenses to grow and market marijuana, with a heavy tax imposed. The budget would be balanced in no time. I would divert the drug-war task force personnel to enforcing the pot tax and preventing smuggling and freelancing. I's no longer a public health issue; it's about money.

I would prosecute all public utility monopolies under antitrust laws, especially cable companies those anticompetitive villains.

I would increase all student educational grants (not loans, but grants) 50%.

My administration and I would challenge the French administration and Chirac to a naked mudpit tug of war match.

You are making yourself look foolish.

I'd pull the troops from Iraq and send them home, and tell the Americans we should all mind our own business. And then I would take the W keys off every single computer keyboard in the White House.

1: legalize all of the issues that are currently in play(you know what i am talking about)
2: pull out of every country that we are in
2.5: start getting sick of all this crap and...

3. Say oh whatever, get everyone in public office dismissed and then form a hippie state with no government

4. move to England and watch the US crumble from lack of government
5. laugh

I would have to make sure I got it on a busy day , but I would veto every single bill that came accross the desk. Even the ones I like. Just as a gesture of spite.

Threaten every last member of Congress into giving the Executive Branch complete power, and dismantle the Judicial and Legislative branch.
