Meh, I would just blow up the world for the heck of it, then if there's anything after that happens, I'll start a libertarian style government.

Give up power and call elections. I'm no leader. Although I might fix myself a cushy ceremonial job before I left.

I'd probably do like Augustus and hand over my powers only to receive them back as planned. Then I would do what I felt was best for the country.

Yeah there you go, do something that actually benefits the people and stay in power for as long as they'll let you, instead of stealing from them and then try to lie your way out.

I agree almost perfectly with your views. You and I would be great dictators.

Firstly, I'd get some friends and people from all over the copuntry together, then, Id' start dividing the country into small communites, then I'd abolish all form of government.

Before I step down I would change the constitution, to allow gays in the military, free universal health care and Education thru College, More equall rights for all in general, A higher mininum wage set at 10.00 US DOLLARS, so the poor can survive, with all the rising prices in today's world. Finnaly I will declare the Socialist Party USA, the new third party alternative, to the Democrats and Republican, making them as big and blotted as they are. Then I would step down, feeling a sense of accomplishment for the better.

First I would disband all the political partys and ban the re-election of past leaders, then I would pass a law which would force future leaders to seriously take into consideration what is good for the country and not that which is good for their popularity and future re-election prospects.
To aid this I would change the term in office to 6 years and have the the elections held every 4 years. This would mean the newly elected leaders would work with the last one for a year to enable a smooth transper.
I would also pass a law which would prevent a project (e.g. renewable energy, military, space programs etc...) form being shut down for 12 years since its foundation.
All of this I would hope, would help produce a government which would look to the long term future insted of just the short term.

Yeah, That's pretty much the right thing to do.

First I'd declare China a hostile nation, stop letting people pay them to make crap, and make Mexico China's replacement. Then illegal immigrants will rush back across the border. That solves immigration and China's military build-up all at once. Then I'd say "fuck" as many times as I could during a live speech, retire and call elections.

You can do that without being a world leader, and get Extremely fat in the process. ;)

First, I'd declare that the national animal was the octopus, make ink illegal, and require eagles be eaten on Thanksgiving.

Next, I would make it illegal to say the words is, was, were, will, or any other version of the "To Be" verb. The punishment would be having to wear a giant scarlet IS around all the time.

Third, I would declare the 15 minutes tap-dance (or maybe lap-dance), to occur every morning during Rush Hour.

Then I'd probably step down and live out my life laughing my ass off (not that it would be that long)

I would make world conquest the only focus of the Federal governement and have all internal affairs be handled by the individual states.

Or I would just nuke everything and let evolution start all over again.

Probably the latter.

Dismantle the entire federal government while the rest of the country still had a chance. But not before I set a nuke off in the San Andreas fault line to see what'd happen.

And annihilates the US economy.

I'd educate and teach all of the masses and help them to get smarter. In addition, I would get jobs for the poor and try and have as few people as possible in poverty, and I would have a fair election where troops loyal to me would count the votes while people weren't looking, so they'd think they were free and remain satisfied well i ruled as dictator. Tell me what you think of this idea.
