If I could be the President of the United States for just one day

I would make Canadians the CEO?s of every big American corporation.
That way they could all be as successful as American Airlines.

I would abolish the southern language and replace it with English.
That way everyone would understand everyone.

I would erase the senate and congress, or at least lower their salary.
That way there would be enough money to give houses to at least some of the thirty million citizens who live in trailers.

I would leave all countries but my own.
That way I can remind everyone that this is not the Roman times of global conquest.

I would do much much more? :-D

(feel free to post your own ?I would(s)?.)

First, I would destroy several contries, such as mexico and france. No really, I would. Then I would raise taxes. Then I would arrest all those protesters in the street for disturbing the piece and being stupid. Then I would make simulated child pornography illegal and arrest all who had made stuff like that. I would lower the price of housing such as electricity and water with these new raised attacks. Then I would launch an investigation for all the pedifle priests in the baptist church. I would force people to say the pledge. I would put the 10 commandments back up in the Courts. Every person that was a terrorist or accused of something like that will be executed and not put on trial to set an example for all the idiots who still come to america to start problems. I would also remove gay rights.

And I would arrest all who quoted my and said something not to my liking.

[color=crimson]Well, if I could be president for just one day, I would erase all the state boundaries. Why do we need them?

Then, I would sit in the oval office and shoot spitballs at the ceiling so when Bush came back the next day, they would fall on his head ^_^. Lame, but fun.

After that I would try to get Canada to unite with us so Alaska would actually be joined to the U.S. Then I would figure out a way to attach Hawaii to the country as well.

After I do all this, I would take over Siberia. Pointless, but fun.

I would stop the search for Elvis and let him live in peace.

I would lower house prices, so those poor people can have houses too.

I would use the taxes to stop starvation in the U.S. (not a well-known problem)

I would make it legal for gay couples to marry anywhere in the U.S. I would also make it possible for them to adopt.

I would make senior citizens take a driving test when they turn 68.

I would shoot off all the nuclear warheads for the Universe's largest fireworks display.

I would probably do more, but that is enough.

I would firstly kill anyone that opposes gay rights.

With that finished, I would pose a bill to make taxes equal no matter where you live.
I would atempt to destroy poverty and bring all people to the minimum of lower class.
I would make all races equal.
I would make both sexes equal.
I would make all sexual preferances acceptable.
Lastly, I would take steps to reduce pollution and waste dumping.

Unfortunately, with my views, I would never be elected.

Sorry for being off-topic.

I hope by [b]southern language[/b] you mean Spanish. If you're talking about people who live in southern states being less intellecutal, I find that highly offending. The whole stereotype about people living in the southern states is mostly not true, or was sort of true at one point.

Take Texas for example. It was, at one point, just many saloons, cowboys, [i]southern language[/i], and as some would consider, ignorance. Since then Texas has evolved greatly. It has a great economy, and some of the largest companies in the world call it home. Such as the DFW Airport, the third largest in America.

I detest it when people mock the southern states of America because the the damn stereotypes. It's aggrivating and very idiotic most of the time I see it.

Firstly I would like to throw Crimson Spider into jail for being a closed minded bigot, and make sure CS never saw the light of day again....Respect goes to ZERO.

That post by you was moranic, self-centered, egotistical, and ****ing prejudice. Personally I find it extremely offensive and I'm pretty sure you don't give a flying **** anyways. It pisses me off when people like you think you are always right and that anything aginst you is wrong. So we wouldn't be a democracy if you were ellected basically. Oh and I didn't quote you.

Then I'd legalize lesbian/gay marriages.

I would make the Pledge of Alleigance less contraversial so I wouldn't have to listen to people whine.

I would put "In Freedom We Trust" on our currency."

I would highly discourage/ban book burnings because book burnings are against our freedom of speach and such, even though they are practicing it. Confusing no?

I would make it easier for out-of-country adoptions.

I would lower taxes for single-parents and would establish a section in the IRS and FBI to make sure that the proclaimed single-parents were infact single parents.

I'd do many other smaller things but those would be some of the main ones.

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]While I have a few ideas in my head, I can at least tell you that I would hire many of you as cabinet members =)

I honestly would be too terrified to be the President, simply for the fact that while I have a lot of good ideas, I wouldn't want to make any mistakes.

-- Now, it's not like taking risks isn't part of being someone that high of a roll, but seriously, it's always a lot easier to say things then it is to actually go through with them. --

You see the good, because the people that aren't as blessed as most would benefit, but how do you know that you aren't messing with someone elses life? I am not the most intelligent person in the world, and I think I would be scared to have that sort of power at my fingertips. .

All that being said, the first thing I would do as President would be to invent a time machine and kill the person who invented remote controls (the first reason that people got to be lazy). . wait, can we change the President to just a really smart scientist? [/SIZE][/COLOR]

So, you'd have the power to declare all sexes, races, and preferences equal, meaning that you must have power over the minds of everyone on the planet...

and yet you only [i]take steps[/i] to reduce pollution.


Note: the president of the US is a human too. And he can't "make" all races and sexes and sexualities equal. Because they already are. It's [i]people[/i] that put certain types of person ahead of others, and the President doesn't have the power to change everyone's minds like that.

(Note: I am pro-equal rights to everyone, I just don't think you can make it happen so quickly like you inferred)


To be honest, I'd make a pretty lousy president. I'd probably be too busy wanting (but probably failing due to lack of support) to sort out the real problems, than the many distractions that people seem to be far more accepting of. People don't like that.

I'd give the Northern states smaller names to make it easier for map-makers to get them in. (A huge state like Texas has a small name, but the smallest state in the Union is Rhode Island? That's strange..)

I would not give tax cuts to the poor because it's impossible; if you're below a certain income bracket, you don't have to pay taxes.

I would keep "In God We Trust" on currency out of respect to the Founding Fathers who put it there. However, I would take "Under God" out of the pledge because that was added during the Cold War.

I'd make fun of MTV, just because....

I'd tell off France.

I'd keep KnightoftheRose and Crimson Spider the hell away from politics. (You can't just go kiling people, guys.)

I'd withdraw US Forces from anywhere they're not wanted. Why risk American soldiers if all the people in those countries do is whine about them?

I'd install a table hockey game in the oval office.

I'd increase our diplomatic ties with Japan, so we can get more anime.

I'd mess everything up and be impeached by the end of the week.

Then again, if I got elected in the first place, there's something wrong. The electorial system is supposed to keep people like me *out* of the white House.

[color=002E55]There are many points that are just making me laugh my head off here. A lot of you are blatantly offending others, lol.

Anyway, if I was president of America for one day, I'd try to pass many things; only to have them declared 'unconstitutional' and have them blocked. Whoops.[/color]

[color=indigo]If I was the president I would use your hard earned tax money to throw elaborate parties. I would various Rock Bands to travel with me and play "Hail to the Cheif" when ever I walked into a room. I would use Airforce one to travel to exotic, foriegn vacationing spots and make sure that the natives understand that america is the greatest country on earth...I would pretty much be the worst President ever...but its not my fault, you guys voted me into office :p[/color]

The very first thing I would do is check out the White House comforts ^^.lol

-Get elected by telling the people 'what they want to hear'.
-Then....clear the 3rd world countries' debts.
-Adopt some Eastern arts.
-Get idiotic people off the couch and force them to get a job.
-Pay the teachers [I]only[/I] if the students learn anything.
-Require major companies to provide bus service to their employees to prevent early morning roadblocks.
-Abolish checks and balances, claim Florida and California as my private vacation spots.
-Attempt to turn gov. into monarchy simply because...
-Keep America from sticking its' nose into everyone's business
-Give up attempts for Mideast peace.
-Have Egyptian designs carved into the Washington Monument. I've always wanted to do this.

And I'd come up with a bunch of laws thinking this'd be a piece of cake and then screw up badly, and whine and cry about how hard all this is.
As for politics, I think my cabinet should consist of members from every country so I can have everyone's opinion. I'm SO bad at these things.
Soon I think I'd have the entire country come down on me cause I'm not even supposed to be prez. I'm not even American.:cross:

Well, if I was elected I throw a big huge party cuase I'd be the first British President of the United States, how did that happen *shrugs* I dunno. After that well...I'd buy a book called 'US Government for Dummies' and see where it goes from there, hey it's worked before

Ermm, well, first thing, I'm glad you'll never be prez CS. O_o
*WOW*

One day eh, everyone has quite the list to accomplish in one day. I guess there isn?t really anything you could logistically get done in one day, but as Heaven's Cloud suggested, a little fun with the whole thing.

The "exotic foreign spots" bit sounds very good right now though.

There are actually very intellegent people down here. But Phantom is right about the dialect being hard to understand. Now I'm not saying by any means that everyone talks like that, but there are several to whom you have to say "Um....can you slow down and say that again?" just to understand them. They just tend to slur their words together a bit. One time we were at a drive-thru at Burger King, and we had to give up and leave because we couldn't understand what the lady was saying.

[color=009966]Congratulations, Crimson Spider. You have just made the most narrow-minded and stupidest post on OtakuBoards. And I'm quoting you anyway since you'll never become the President. First of all, you are a :butthead:. Secondly, you can't just annihalate Mexico and France. That's called "mass-murder." Third, haven't you thought that the protesting might be for a good cause? That would also violate our freedom of speech, and you can't force someone to say the pledge. Fourth, why did you single out priests in the baptist church? Are you implying that it's [i]just[/i] priests in the baptist church who are pedofile? If you are, you probably just put yourself on someone's hit-list. Now, about the court thing. Let's say that you are the Pres. (yeah. Like [i]that[/i] will happen....), and someone is [i]accused[/i] of being a terroist. Haven't you heard of "innocent until proven guilty?" That accused person could've been framed by someone, but you just go ahead and execute them. Congrats again, CS. You have commited murder. *end rant*
```````````````````````````

On a different note, I would:

*make it harder for children under the age of 16 to get ahold of cigaretts, drugs, and alchohol.

*raise minimum wage so that people on the streets could get a job and have at least enough to support themselves. I'd also try to make it easier for them to get a job.

*aid Mexico in any way to try and make their water more drinkable and clean.

*give equal rights to everyone, including gays/lesbians.

*have an OB Reunion at the White House during that one day that I'm president. :D

Well...first of all...you are wrong, both genders are not equal...and it is gowernment wise too. I know this b/c I took a tour of a college, and it had a list of jobs that the college could train you for, and how much your salary would be for that job, they had two collums, one for girls and one for guys, Girls get paid less than a guy who is doing the same exact job as them, and they took the same class.

Also, if you were president you wouldnt be able to make as extreme changes as those...cause you need to keep in mind that as president, you can veto bills, but only if the house of reps will approve it first, so U can't just say: I'm gonna make this law, and then POOF there's a new law...it has to be accepted first by the house of reps, and they might disagree with that law being made.

But, if we all just pretend that you can just do anything as president, then I would do:

1) decrease deforestation by either selling the old abandoned buildings or bulldozing them for land to build over them cuz no one is buying them cuz a)it isnt the right size or b)they dont like its design (there are tons of those in my city, and noone is even interested in buying them, they are just cutting down more trees to build more buildings that DONT get filled)

2)givign homosexuals the right to legal marraiges and adoptions

3)cutting the salaries of government employees and using it to help the homeless.

4)cut taxes of those who do charitable stuff such as pet adoptions/rescue centers or charities as their only income.

5)hold a huge convention with all the world leaders to try to accomplsh world peace

I guess that's what I'd do as president.

[COLOR=royalblue]*reads some people's posts* *has a laughing fit* Apparently, at least half of you have never studied American History or American Political Systems. Half of what you've said is IMPOSSIBLE, and half of it is a good idea. I would never want to be the president. I want money, not fame.

But if I could be anyone in the government, I would work for the C.I.A.[/COLOR]

I agree with you, there are people who tend to slur their language, and I wanted to edit my post and put that in there, but I just didn't feel like it, heheh. There are small communities that have the stereotypical feel to them, but most places I've seen in the south haven't been like that. At least in my area.

Once again, sorry for being off-topic.

[color=darkblue][size=1]I would use my authority completely for personal gain. I mean, we're only talking one day here -- it's unlikely you could accomplish anything real in that short period of time.

I'd try to figure out a way to swindle all kinds of money out of the government for my personal use, smoke a huge blunt in the Oval Office just to say I did it, plant bugs all over the place so I would know what the actual President is saying at all times from then on and become a famous reporter, and all that other stuff Heaven's Cloud said. I'd also invite Heaven's Cloud, because those were his ideas and I'd hate for him to miss out.[/color][/size]

Everyone has to take a common sense test. Everyone who fails will be shot and killed. That leaves about 10 people left. Perfect, we can have a picnic.

PS: Anyone who knows me knows i'm absolutely serious. It may not be possible but I'll find a way. This country is full of too many stupid people. They will all die. Simple as that.

Ignorance is bliss. Except too little ignorance is an annoyance e.i. those protestors that clutter the streets and disrupt normal public activities because they don't like what's happening.
