    I crown myself absolutist monarch and abolish all laws, leaving everything to my judgment. Sudden power would no doubt make me mad and greedy.

    Pass: A series of laws establishing a universal medical care system, equal LGBT rights, and a the nationalisation of the arms industry.

    Abolish: Presidential term limits. If only to give me the ability to reign indefinitely. Also, the stupid Patriot Act, the IRS, FEMA, and other negative drains on the treasury. Replace them with something that works.

    Abolish: Ayn Rand's Books...all of them.* War on Drugs. Hate Crime legislation. Patriot Act. Term limits.

    Pass: A law making it illegal for the President to use the military, unless Congress declares war. Legalize "illicit" substances (i.e. drugs). Law making candidates for any election personally liable for any campaign advertisement that is not 100% factual and focusing on actual issues, rather than mudslinging. Institute military draft. Lower drinking age to 18.

    ...I'm sure there are more, I just can't think of them right now...

    -Enter Australia into complete Isolationism.

    -Enforce the strictist environmental policy you have ever seen.

    -Limit immigration.

    -Build artificial inland sea (can be done, but horribly expensive).

    -Eliminate private schools, bring public schools up to level where private is no longer necessary.

    -Create "petrol" rationing, incentive to use public transportation, walk, ride bikes to work instead of driving.

    -Sort out the drought, build as many dams as possible.

    -Invest in renewable energy sources - wind, wave, solar, geothermal.

    -Nationalisation of energy, gas, electricity, telecommunications, etc.

    -Build me a few atom bombs. Safeguard Australia's resources.

    -Limit import and export, try to produce everything at home.

    So when the world collapses, Australia will survive.

    More farmland, obviously.

    Australia's a huge country but much of it's land is unsuitable for farming. The inland sea creates more.

    What I do:
    - Withdraw the United States from the UN and NATO
    - Build a wall across the Mexican border and deport all the illegal immigrants (all of them)
    - Abolish the Departments of Education, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development
    - Get rid of social security and any other welfare program
    - National Service. Two years of service in either Military, Peace Corps, Public Works Corps, or some other group in order to get your right to vote
    - Make it so that you have to be born to American citizens to get citizenship.
    - Abolish FEMA
    - Renew PATRIOT Act
    - Make it impossible for any foreign nation, group or body to extradite an American citizen for any reason
    - Legalize Marijuana, keep other hard drugs very illegal
    - Give the US Interstate system a no speed limit policy
    - Drinking age of 18
    - Term limit for Senators
    - Get rid of the Circut Court's. State Supreme Courts are the next highest court level other than SCOTUS
    - Keep as much of the economy as possible in private hands. Regulation to keep people safe, but other than that, nothing.

    If I was elected I'd step down in 4 or 8 years, depending. If not, then I'd keep Presidency for as long as I needed.
    The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be used until they try and take it away.

    I would not make those decisions. I would found a Meritocracy, for which the members are selected with no chance of refusal, and I would merely become the Head of State and non-legislative Chairman.
    The meritocracy I founded would obviously not hold any form of loyalty to me, so their first well thought out plan would be to replace me with someone else more suited to the role.

    He doesn't want to pay taxes to fund other people's education, even thought what you say is true. Not only is maintaining a population of knuckleheads downright dangerous, but having an educated population is beneficial on many levels.

    isnt that against the us Constitution some how? dont the people have the right to vote just for being american citizens regardless of military service?
    Yes. It is very much against the constitution.

    whats so bad about fema?
    He doesn't think the Federal government should provide any aid whatsoever for disaster relief, even though it is beneficial to do so. I particularly remember him complaining about New Orleans after Katrina, saying, "I don't really care about most of the 'victims.'" Take that how you will. I know how I took it.

    its a two way street, what if pakistan or someone find osama? or an american citizen commits a serious crime and runs to europe to escape jail? i doubt ether would help you if your not willing to return the favour
    It's just another example of the unfortunate mentality that says the U.S. can do whatever the hell we want without any recourse. This is a very dangerous way of thinking, not only for the reasons you mention.

    Hmm..

    Make myself Grandmaster of Finland, position hereditary (I just don't want to be called monarch).

    -To vote, you must serve in the ARMED forces.
    -To be accepted into any public position you must be able to vote
    -Change in laws. Any foreigner caught committing crime, of any magnitude, will be detained in Finland up to point when their crime has been fully repaid.

    Just to give russians who drive drunk and/or like ****** over here something to wonder when their trucks are taken into police carpark while drivers find themselves sitting in jail waiting to have their fines (and expenses) paid.


    Everyone is warhero, genius and millionaire in Internet, so don't be surprised that I'm not impressed.

    I would make Sweden a dictatorship with me in control and redirect the budget from welfare and such **** and put it in the military and police then i would deport all illegal immigrants stop immigration completly and every man and woman who reaches eighteen is going to do military service.

    After 10-15 years Swedens military might should be sufficent to take control of poor african countries and use their national resources to make Sweden wealthier.
    And Sweden would leave the UN and the EU and abolish all their laws.

    BTW Tiwax Grandmaster of Finland is a cool title.
