    Sorry dude you will be President not God. All of that even with a cooperative congress which you almost certainly will not have will take far more than a day.

    I would work to end laws banning research into ectogenisis past 2 weeks, which is the current law.

    Would you — personally — agree with a one citizen = one non weighted vote if it could be guaranteed that no illegals could vote? Just a hypothetical.

    I would give a speech on national television and try to rally the American people around the idea of instituting term limits on members of Congress. This would be my primary political goal during my term as president.

    Day one? The type of action depends on whether you hold both houses of Congress, but my two priorities would be new rules of the road to root out corruption in DC and a massive infrastructure investment. The latter would hit a lot of notes and we definitely need to be challenged to a higher purpose. A little volunteered sweat and toil in the community isn’t going to hurt anyone especially our Congress critters. It’s past time we worked side-by-side.

    Illegals can’t vote, and you can’t show they have. What about saving the constitution from conservative power grabs?

    I'm CINC. I don't need Congressional approval for the military stuff, particularly the organizational changes, do I? And I'm assuming I'd have it all written out, decrees and orders just needing a signature.

    The idea is to move fast, assert authority and catch the Congress flat-footed. The last thing they're going to expect is a guy who has been very busy just after winning the election and actually used the time from Nov to Jan to secretly put in a fully functioning staff so as to hit the ground running. They don't want to raise military pay? Try to tell that to the soldiers and the public after I've announced they're getting it.

    I'm trying to concentrate on the military because it's the biggest single item in the budget and I have pretty much absolute control over it.

    Some of the other stuff might be the second day, I'll admit.. Repealing the 2nd amendment and banning Nazis might take weeks.

    Yes you do. All of those various departments are congressional creations. And the second amendment won't happen period. First you'd need super majorities in both house and Senate which you almost certainly won't get and then you'd need a super majority of the states.

    Didn’t think so, y’all motives have nothing to do with securing the elections for citizens has nothing to do with actual votes of citizens, it’s about winning. Which is why it should be ignored as such.

    Are you trying to equate career criminals and illegal immigrants with upstanding citizens? I know you would if you could.Anything to win.

    Unless you are purged or don’t have a physical address in the appropriate format like many Native Americans. Then your vote is weighted based on your geographical location by up to 400%. Then your unelected “elector” still doesn’t have to vote for who the people chose.

    No I am simply asserting that the constitution isn’t a perfect document, it was written by man — thankfully those men were intelligent enough to offer an amendment process but not intelligent enough to force a mandatory rewrite every few generations like many of them wanted.

    Just saying “it’s the constitution” isn’t an argument. It’s an appeal to law.
    If laws do not make sense or serve the people they should be abolished.
