And we'd have more liberty than YOU would know what to do with, without government holding your hand through life, MATT. YOU would be lost.Bring America back to around 1965 in governmental structure and fund science, r&d and infrastructure the way it should be.
And you guys think us libertarians want to go back in time.
Going back when we were at the top of our game and when the government was more respectful of our rights. You're the ones that want to go back to 1785!

If I ruled the US as President, my first action would be to sign an EO saying Congress nor the SCOCTUS have any right to strike down any EOs I may issue. Then, I would issue a second EO saying that a new Constitutional Convention is to be called with delegates from all states present elected for that one purpose, writing a new Constitution. I, naturally, would appoint myself President of the Convention. As president of it, I would try mainly to redefine and reinforce the protections and rights guaranteed by the Constitution, as well as reform the structure of Gov't.
I would make the Supreme Court have eleven justices: 5 elected from regions of the country, 3 appointed by the POTUS, and 1 elected by each chamber of the Congress (I would make three branches). Also, justices would have term limits and would be staggered to ensure each president gets to appoint so many. The Congress would have 3 houses: one proposing social laws, one for matters of economics, and another for world affairs. Each house would be comprised of 150 members, each state being granted 3 representatives. On matters of joint responsibility, one house may plead to the SCOTUS to review it and call for all houses involved together to vote on it. To pass a law, the proposing branch must achieve a 60% majority, followed by at least a 30% minority from the other houses. Each candidate is only allowed to be in 1 house at a time. The president would be forced to relinquish much power to an elected group of specialists similar to the Cabinet, and would be elected to 5 year terms, can be elected twice, and if a 80% majority of all houses vote so, a recall election may be held to throw out the old president.
What would you do?
It's their job, but more importantly, their duty. Trust me, we make our nut as well.For starters, no more pretense of a Republic, or a Democracy, or a Democratic Republic. The Elites will rule, which is as it should be. Since we can actually get shit done now, most people will find they have more freedom, not less, and their lives are more rational and rewarding.
Question: why would the Elites, once given total power, give a darn about the commoner?
The two legal and Constitutional ways to call a Convention do not involve the President at all. One is for Both Houses of Congress to call for a Convention and the other is for the States to do so. Further neither method provides that the sitting President of the US is President of the Convention.
Executive Orders are only statements clarifying what the President intends the Executive to about laws. He does not have the power to declare he is above the Supreme Court nor the Congress. Further he can not use an executive order to make new law nor to declare another branch of the Government is not allowed to preform its constitutional duties as spelled out BY the Constitution.
Elites do such things. They aren't like the greedy ignorant asses you people elect currently. They have morals, and a sense of honor and duty.It's their job, but more importantly, their duty.

You seriously expect me to believe the Elite would care for the poor and middle class rather than relentlessly exploit them after the Republic is completely done away with out of a sense of duty?
Sorry OP. I reject your premise.

All that of course would be unconstitutional...since ur imperial presidency would violate the balance of powers which is at the heart of the U.S. Constitution...

It's not romance, it's what rises when all else goes down the toilet. It's an evil world filled with evil beings. The Elites are aware but there is little they can do while the populous slits its own throat. They bide their time but their time is coming again. You have every right to be cynical about the common man, about the state of the world run by them. It's why they shouldn't be allowed to gain power. When they do you get what we have, cruelty and immorality presented as normal and good.Elites do such things. They aren't like the greedy ignorant asses you people elect currently.

You sound like a sophomoric romanticist. "Morals", "honor", and "duty" are gone in the world. Or at least on the road to being dead. Trust me, for every honest man you propose who genuinely care, another ten would rise as cruel, oppressive tyrants.

What you see is a world run by ignorant selfish men. It can be done better but not as long as people accept that what it is is all that it can be. Until that changes, and it will when the house of cards really crashes, it is what it is.

You obviously didn't read my OP that well. The EO would pretty much void Congress and the SCOTUS to do anything to me. Besides, I know that the President controls the military, .

Unless the people or the military rebelled while I let the states build a new Constitution, the SC can say what they want, they couldn't knock me down.
And did I mention the Constitution would be REWRITTEN!

Kid, you would be doing yourself a great favor by shutting the fuck up until you're a little older and have the first fucking clue what you are talking about. You're going to look back on this silly shit and feel embarrassed.

King Raven is pretty new to the board. Why don't you give him a break, asshole. I think this is a good thread. Go troll somewhere else.
