What would you do if you were president for a day?

[just_a_potato]

I would probably just sit in my office and press any and all random buttons, I'm simple like that. 😎

[Rangers]

Issue executive orders, here they are:
-Legalize medical and recreational marijuana in all states but remain illegal for use while driving.
-Disband the ATF and divert their responsibilities to the FBI
-Require photo ID to vote in all states
-Exonerate everyone convicted of a non DUI marijuana related offense
-Exonerare everyone convicted of unlicensed possession of a firearm
-Bring MA, CA, NJ, and CT gun bans of specific guns by name such as AR-15s and the M1 carbine to the Supreme Court for review
-Make mere possession of a controlled substance (not weed, no penalties whatsoever for simple weed possession) down to at most, a ticket not exceeding $80 regardless of the quantity of the substance they have and do NOT confiscate the substance they have as it is their personal property
-Give the boot to the racist psychologist who bragged about fantasizing about murdering white people and bring her before a federal judge for a prosecution hearing
-Begin a review discussing the cancelation of the US-China debt over the releasing of the covid pandemic by China
-Pass constitutional carry laws allowing anyone legally allowed to obtain a firearm to carry one without a state issued license
-Overturn the right of businesses to legally bind people from carrying guns concealed in their business by nullifying the authority of 30.06 signs, eliminating the possibility of facing felony charges if they walk past a 30.06 sign while concealed carrying
-Issue orders to review military spending and how to reduce it without hurting our military (that idiot who destroyed our old aircrafts for billions of dollars instead of selling them to our allies who wanted them, I'm looking at you)
-Bring armed security back to schools who had their security withdrawal ordered by this administration
-Warn social media companies of legal action if they continue to apply their terms of service inconsistently to silence political opinions they disagree with
-Expand and warp speed our immigration process by hiring an additional 80,000 employees to review green cards, visas, citizenship papers, and assist people in going through the process (last I checked, just 250 people were reviewing visas, resulting in delays taking as long as 25 months to get a response for a k1 visa, which is the fastest and this is unacceptable)
-Give Officer Tatum the green light to start his after-school programs to help kids get the guidance and help they need to do job interviews and save up their money
-Finally, make privatization of prisons and jail systems illegal on a federal level

Given that most of the things a President can do would be immediately overturned (a lot of people think the President is functionally a king, but the actual function of the office is to protect the country from Congress- and to be a whipping boy for the press. I haven't read any of the other comments yet, but I'd lay VERY good money most of them are saying things the President can't do), there's not much that would stick. I'm tempted to say "pardon Snowden", but in his case, pardoning (which contains an admission of guilt) is actually not what he wants (and I couldn't mandate what he does; that needs Congressional authorization). I'd probably call him (pretty sure the POTUS could get through to the guy) and thank him, on behalf the American people, if not the government.

Maybe I'd copy the good idea of the Australian government (I'd like to say A good idea, but let's be realistic here), and, via executive order, make 1. voter registration automatic with birth records, 2. voting a legal requirement, and 3. election day a federal holiday. Congress would WANT to overturn that, but wouldn't have to guts to face the backlash.

With that done, I'd probably call an emergency press conference to demonstrate how much of the alphabet I can burp in one go. Then I'd do something like hijack the nearest Weinermobile, drive it to a random house, ring the doorbell, and tell the (no doubt VERY surprised) person who answered the door that they'd won a lifetime supply of wiener whistles. I doubt it'd actually be useful in any practical sense, but whoever it was would never have to buy their own beer again; they'd always be "that guy/gal who was given a lifetime whistle supply by the president".

So many people forget the importance of having fun when they're given power. I would not be one of them.

[just_a_potato]

You're funny thanks for your contribute

[awkfemme]

Make racism illegal. Pay reparations to African-Americans. Demand a reconstructed education system (learn more about other cultures within the us). Let everyone in jail for only carrying weed, selling weed out and provide programs that can assist them once they are out. Force the police system to go through regular trainings every 2 years along with a degree in criminal justice and get them involved with community service/ volunteer so they know they people they are protecting. Use taxes from the rich to help fix schools in poorer locations bc their schools are already overfunded. This is just what I would do lol.

[Puppystarfish23]

Change the education system for the better and instead of keeping kids locked up in classrooms for most of there young life. Id make sure there was programmes for them to pursue there ambitions and get them right training and experience to succeed rather than expect them to get were they want from a score on a piece of paper.

[Exterminatore]

*their ambitions

You need to be locked back up in the English classroom.

[Puppystarfish23]

@Exterminatore I have dyslexia, this is why I think this is important as not everyone works well in a classroom environment.

Just because my grammar isn't great doesn't make my point any less and the fact you have the time to pick out people's grammar mistakes just to make yourself feel a little bit bigger about yourself is kinda sad.

[es20490446e]

I think this is quite important 👍

[Exterminatore]

@Puppystarfish23

I’m just teasing you. No offense intended.

[Puppystarfish23]

@Exterminatore just because you feel like a dick now

[Exterminatore]

@Puppystarfish

You don’t see the humor in someone making statements about keeping kids locked in classrooms while using the wrong word?

It’s a bit of irony.

[Puppystarfish23]

@Exterminatore I’m just teasing you. No offense intended.

[OlderAndWiser]

Executive Order #1 is an immediate requirement that every employer in the country gives employees a thirty minute recess from 10:00 to 10:30 every morning so the employees can go outside and play kickball.

[NotARobberYet]

I'd tax the hell out of the rich, establish a Medicare 4 all national health insurance program and incite the population to rebel against the high profile criminals in this country, i. e. the military industrial complex, media owners and vulture capitalists, since they'd never be prosecuted by laws in this banana republic.

[NotARobberYet]

I also would pardon Julian Assange for the crime he never committed and leave NATO.

[Still-alive]

immediately write an executive order to cancel all student loan debts, set up monthly $1000 checks per month for all Americans, imminent domain all abandoned housing and order it them to be fixed up and have all homeless everywhere stay in them so they finally have a place to stay every night.

[just_a_potato]

DAMN pulling out the big guns

[Still-alive]

yeah this is all shit biden could totally do if he wasn't such a typical politician.

We need a new FDR in our time!

[Inexpensivefurniture]

I'd probably be too overwhelmed to try and start anything meaningful. Not much you can do in a day. Maybe I would use the time to start outlandish conspiracy theories. Tweet out something like "Gonna reveal the truth about the Loch Ness monster soon. It's time the people knew."

[BCA6010]

One day isn't long enough to do anything of value, and any and all executive orders could just be overturned the very next day, as demonstrated ad nauseum by the last three administrations.

So, I'd probably start firing a hell of a lot of advisors and other staff. It would probably take me all day. And maybe pardon some random obscure prisoner who did some whacky offense just to confuse the media.

[Shaggy_KW]

I'd pull a Putin and make myself president for life. This would start an uproar because it completely goes against the constitution. Eventually, people would revolt against the government and I will willingly stand down. The government will be remade and new laws will be set in place. Hopefully they will make it like the founding fathers intended and humanity will be restored for a bit longer.

[DCooper]

I'll say this much... the courts would be tied up a long time undoing crazy executive orders, the talking heads would be ranting and raving about abuse of the pardon power, and my last act would be to pardon myself for accepting a shitload of bribes :)

[DCooper]

If you think holding 10% for the big guy is a scandal, you'd love '100% to the big guy' day !

[DCooper]

There would also be interns walking around inexplicably wearing knee pads.

[user4477388]

I would not take the chance to be president even for a day as the 1 percenters such as the Rockefellers , Clinton's , Rothchild's wouldn't like me as I would raise the tax on the top 1 , 5 and 10 percenters to 12.5 percent , I would abolish the federal reserve as there's nothing federal about it and it's owned by the Rothchild's and I would abolish the minimum wage in favor of a livable wage , a poor tax paid by the ultra rich to get rid of the poor and homeless for job training and houses , churches, salvation army , goodwill etc would have to pay disabled people a livable wage or loose their tax exempt status these groups pay under the minimum wage

[hailiegirl12]

I'd get Trump back in office and help him fix what Biden RUINED. Then, I'd jail Biden for cheating in the election.

[collie22]

Well I think i would fire half of the government employees close all the tax loop holes stop spending on stupid stuff and balance the budget by noon then go to lunch...

[just_a_potato]

Girl's got a plan 😯

[purplepoppy]

Burn the constitution, it's an anchor keeping America in the past.
Order an immediate ban on gun ownership with harsh penalties on those who resist.
Invade mexico, make it an American state and improve it.
Ban free speech and start prosecuting people who spread lies that could cause harm.
Start free brothels in every town improve mens mental well-being.

[Gray-Wisp]

I have never seen a comment that was based as fuck and then triggered my gag reflex with the next sentence, and then just proceeded to do that again... all in one comment.

[es20490446e]

@Gray-Wisp You don't get a joke.

[Gray-Wisp]

@es20490446e Yeah but half of that is based.

[slatyb]

There aren't any buttons to press. And there's not much that can be done in a day.

[just_a_potato]

No buttons? 😞

[MCheetah]

I don't think the president could get anything useful done in a day (in most cases, not even 4-8 years!). I think I'd just release all the secrets on Area 51 and who really shot JFK.

[Oppressed_Leecher]

lot of people don't know that the UFO disclosure that was supposed to happen on June 1st was Trump's doing. he wrote it into his last stimulus bill. only way he would sign it, he wanted 2k stimulus Dems wanted 600. he refused but last minute said "fuck it you guys want this passed? disclose our most secretive secret and I'll sign your crappy 600 slap in the face"

[Oppressed_Leecher]

it's his way of going out with a bang

[Oppressed_Leecher]

surprise surprise now that dwms are in the house they suppress it. SMH more secrets

[Oppressed_Leecher]

"I would probably just sit in my office and press any and all random buttons, I'm simple like that."

that's what joe does on a daily basis while the socialist silhouettes in the back destroy our country from within 👥

[just_a_potato]

It's only cool when I do it right? 👀👀👀

[92KixNcereal]

Throw a e40 function up in that mansion. 4 Floors

Hip hop
EDM
Jukebox (all major credit cards are acceptable)
Naps:/recuperate (free tacos and Chx nuggets-donations are welcomed)

[DaMack999]

Give Native people 5% of taxes. Call it Native ownership tax. Until hundred years. See injustice erased.
Pay 5% tax to all black communities directly affected by slavery.
Give 5% tax to holocaust survivorship. And salary of $350,000 to all war vets. So they aren't homeless.
Make wealthiest like google n apple pay all these taxes. Not tax payers.

[Oppressed_Leecher]

natives get reparations from casinos and they spend it all on meth and booze 😂 I know many tribes

there are no neighborhoods affected by slavery that makes no sense since no one alive was a slave

there are no more holocaust survivors and Jews got reparations just like freed black slaves did.

[Oppressed_Leecher]

reparations will only make that race weak and unmotivated. no one deserves reparations if that's the case then we all should get it since every race was enslaved at some point.

[Pterodon]

I’d throw all illegals out of the country and finish the wall and order they be held in Mexico at Mexico’s expense. I’d reinstate drilling on federal lands for jobs and I’d finish the pipelines for jobs. I’d hold China’s feet to the fire for answers about Covid and I’d reinstate the ban on Muslims entering the country

[Agape93]

Make unrestricted abortion readily available an executive order, and tie it with unrestricted gun access. See how quick conservatives are to try and contest that.

[DCooper]

Haha conservatives would turn into a circular firing squad. Small 'l' libertarians would celebrate both.

[Mangospacho]

I would fly Air Force one, not ride in it like presidents typically do but I would fly it myself to some place nice like Hawaii and then I would eat some place nice like Taco Bell and then I would call Kim Jong Un and tell him his haircut sucks and then the Chinese premier that he looks like Winnie the Pooh and call him Winnie the Pooh throughout the rest of the call and then drop the mic and head back home and let the actual president handle the diplomatic fallout.

[jennifer_bloom]

I would make the stimulus check only available to those who get the vaccine

[es20490446e]

👌😉
