If I were king
Okay, so the title is a misnomer. I would never want to be king. I would never even want to be President. But, if I were President, here are some of the things that I would do. Yes, I am tired about writing about genocide (Planned Parenthood). So I thought I would attempt a "here is what I think is needed to fix the government".
Day 1.
Would give notice to the Congress, that unless they fix the drug issue, I am going to start enforcing drug laws nationwide, Including states where marijuana is currently legal.
Would appoint the following Secretaries; Defense, Treasury, Interior, and Justice. I would roll the rest into those three as Under Secretaries, with the intent of dismantling the bureaucracies.
Would instruct my people to go through all regulations, separate what was actually passed by Congress, and load all of that up to take to Congress. The Executive Branch doesn't make law, it enforces it. Congress could simply up or down vote it, I wouldn't care. I would also set a deadline that all those regulations would cease to exist without that vote.
Would give notice to Congress that the Executive Branch will not write a single regulation outside of governing the government. Any bill that doesn't specify regulations written in by the people's house will be vetoed.
Would propose that Congress pass legislation to increase the amount of Representatives in the House to more properly represent their Districts. In 1911 when the number was fixed at 435 the population was 94,000,000. That is 1 representative for every 214,000 people. Today it is 1 for every 747,000. To get back to the ratio in 1911 would require 1,518 representatives. Do you see the problem? Think about what that solves. Much of the arguing regarding redistricting would be over. For the record the writers of the Constitution recommended not more than one representative for every 30,000.
If a bill cannot be reasonably read by the President within the 10 days I have to sign or veto a bill, it will be vetoed.
A bill would have to cite the constitutional justification for the law. General welfare doesn't count.
Ask Congress to review the federal criminal statutes. Where they mirror state laws, would ask to eliminate those laws.
I would ask Defense to move troops to the borders, and militarize them. I would enforce whatever immigration laws in effect that have been passed by Congress.
Enforce gun laws. Crime would be significantly reduced simply by doing this. With the elimination of all the other federal laws, that would free up federal courts to deal with the extra workload.
And before bed, I would sign an Executive Order ordering a review of all EOs, and a sunset deadline, where they all would go away.
Not bad for a first day, no? What did I leave out? I would make good on my campaign promise to work to repeal the 16th and 17th amendments. Can't do it all on day one.
