If I was President...

[Divine Wind]

Oh and I'd make it a priority to restore the Senate to the States by repealing the 17th amendment.

He said "If I were President..." not "If I were King...."

Congress has to not only approve, but it has to be ratified by the States. My gut tells me this will get the same support as Term Limits where everyone supports it except for their people. Ergo, all talk, no action.

Doesn't mean I can't advocate and make a good argument for it.

Not at all. Sorry, I tend to be boringly realistic. My girlfriend thinks I kill the romance in any movie by saying "That ain't likely!" in the middle of it.

I don't expect it tomorrow. But if we don't start it somewhere it will never happen.

If I was President of the United States I would do the following things:

(1) Introduce into Congress a Bill establishing term limits for all Congressmen. Two terms max.

(2) Introduce into Congress a Bill requiring a balanced budget.

(3) Completely revamp the Federal tax code. Everybody would be required to pay taxes and absolutely no more tax loopholes. Think Fair Tax.

(4) Introduce a bill into Congress requiring all members of Congress be subject to the laws they pass just as a common citizen is.

(5) End all the wonderful life-long perks members of Congress receive.

(6) Immediately end all foreign aid. You can''t buy real friends and allies.

(7) Bring all of our troops home from the Middle East within 12 months. I would step up the fighting over there in such a way that the Taliban and other terrorists would be happy to see us leave.

(8) Cut all Federal government salaries by 1/3.

(9) Establish well-protected borders for the United States.

(10) Escort all illegal aliens out of the country and ensure they understood that if they came back into the country illegally, they would be shot on sight.

Trumps meeting your expectations I’m sure.

What made me bump this old thread? I was listening to Wycliffe John sing “if I were President I’d get elected on Friday assassinated on Saturday buried on Sunday. I think he sang that before obama was elected. Before obama blacks never believed a black could be potus
