    So your king of America.... how do you fix it?

    Congress and the people elect you to be king of America for 4 years-you have complete and total authority to act in any way you desire-completley ignoring the constitution if you wish, except for the following:

    1. You want to make the country a better place and fix its problems, though that is of course relative.

    2. You are altruistic. You can not act in a way for the purpose of bettering your own station or those of your friends.

    3. You can't do anything to extend your four year reign, or effect the choice of the next leader.

    4. The country has to have free, fair(an absolute) democratic elections when you are done.


    Thats it....

    So with your complete and total power, how do you fix the country?

      In what exactly does this differ from a presidential regime?

          I would use all of my military power available to compel the English in the United Kingdom to spell all words properly (in other words, American English spelling).

            1. No welfare; disability, unemployment, and family support funds only... FSF would be welfareish, but only as long as the person is a parent demonstrating that they are supporting their kids. FOr all others that need aid, they get aide, just not cash; a hot meal, bed, etc.
            2. Death Penalty + Fair and Speedy trial, none of this 10 year appeal thing
            3. Medical Malpractice reform, not really sure of the details
            4. Legalize MJ
            5. Stem Cell Research legalization
            6. Corporate Responsibility; they are the ones who demand the workforce, they should be responsible for them

              A little anesthetic and a couple snips should do the trick.
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                You mean like how corporations were happily "responsible" for the "welfare" of their employees during the Gilded Age?

                  I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                      Come on dudes! Doesn't ANYONE have the urge to nitpick that a king cannot be elected by DEFENITION?

                        Colon, what are you whining about? You have been installed as king; you won't lose your seat until elections are reinstated 4 years from now on your blessing. Ever heard of a peaceful transfer of power? Give it a rest already, sheesh.

                            1) Decimate the government on all levels. Go over every single department with a fine-toothed comb and eliminate every single redundant, useless, wasteful paper-pushing nonsense job we have on the government dole.

                            2) Streamline all government agencies, getting rid of any with duplicated functionalities, rolling them into those few that are essential.

                            3) Get our boys OUT of Iraq and Afghanistan. Bring everyone who had even a HINT of anything to do with the misinformation campaign that got us into the war up on charges of Treason.

                            4) Use the savings realized by NOT having an army in the field and NOT having so much waste in the government to pay down the nation's debt.

                            5) Provide generous tax incentives to the wealthy to create new business opportunities for the newly unemployed ex-government workers and/or give them low interest startup loans to go into consulting or other businesses for themselves.

                            That'll do for the first hundred days. More later.
