As a result of legal quibbles, George W. Bush is removed from office. You are put in his place as the new American leader. Your platform, please?

Rinse and repeat with relevant phrasology for those outside the United States. Assume Prime Ministers Howard and Blair recieved similar treatment at the hands of their country's highest advocates of law. You are in control. Agendas, ladies and gentlemen?

As I have now become the supreme Dictator of Great Britain and Dominions (that means you Gibraltar) And have total control of the millitary, and they have just sworn an oath of loyalty to me. I would like to begin what I call the "Short Sharp Shock Doctrine."

There is no longer a state religion, the anglican church has been booted.

I am now president, the minor royalty are being exiled, the queen and any others old enough to harbour the illusion of deposing me quietly shot.

We're joining the euro. Hard fucking cheese.

It's tax increase time people. The public services in this country are knackerd. BEND OVER!!!

Nationalisation of the railways. If we can't find a private company to run it, then we're taking over.

I'm blowing up the millenium dome. Admission to the spectator areas £15.

Announce the New Americn EMPIRE, and begin the conquest of Upper Montana
and Lower New Mexico.

In reality, just cut taxes, tell politicians to fucking cut the pork out of
their fucking bills or else I'll veto them

Find a copy of the Federal Budget. Tear out every last expenditure not specifically authorized by the Constitution. Cut taxes 85%. End the Cuban embargo and get me some cigars.

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2003-03-24 02:48pm

Assuming I'm Dictator, and not merely the President...

1) Pardon all non-violent drug offenders. End all affirmative action.

2) U.S. troops out of Japan, Germany, and Saudi Arabia (after Iraq is taken care of). Eliminate military presence elsewhere in Europe; I'm sure they won't mind, you know, being against American imperialist cowboys and all. Diminish military presence in N. Korea.

3) End Socialism Security, sell of government assets such as undeveloped western land and abandoned military bases to buy annuities for those still dependent on it.

4) Repeal the 17th Amendment. Replace it with a national retail sales tax.

5) In the name of the 9th and 10th Amendments, abolish the various unconstitutional departments.

6) Go through latest Congressional budget, tearing out pages at random. It will likely come out better than before. After that, take out everything not authorized by the Constitution.

7) IRS. Gone. Instantly. Forever.

Put an $80 million bounty of Osama bin Laden. Anyone is eligible for it, even his henchman. Or wives. He must be returned alive. After he is returned alive, he will be lowered into Times Square from a helicopter. The crowd will take care of him.

9) End of welfare. Poverty will no longer be a government-subsidized alternative lifestyle.

Too much to list, really, I'll add more as I think of it.

oh yeah, go through the budget, rip out the money going to violaters of human rights, and putting research into enviromentally safe things.

First off, engineer a truly spectacular crises, probably of the terrorisim variety aginst Congress preferably. Call a national emergency, suspend the surviving Congress and the Consitution, declare martial law. Use this period to 'sanitize' a new Congressional body , use them to perpetuate a state of Emergency, granting the Executive branch full govenmental powers 'for the duration of the crisis'. Constitution + Bill of Rights meet Mr. paper shredder. Perpetuate an ongoing terrorist threat , from within America, begin purging all questionable individuals and potential resistance leadership. Add in an overseas element as the backers for this insurrection, and begin using propaganda to focus American fear and anger outwards. Re-shape American self-image to that of an Imperial nation, the only hope for the future of both America and the world.
Begin program of conquest and Empire building, ultimate aim being the creation of a planetary govenment.

Massive reforms to remove the inefficencies that cause us in the UK to have incredibly high taxes but still have laughably bad public services. Large cuts to the bloated wages MPs get would be first on the agenda and if they don't agree then they can all take a long walk off a short pier... For certain a lot more private companies are going to involved in things like healthcare. I'm not into letting people die because they can't afford to pay healthcare costs but damn the NHS costs this country an absolute fortune and it just does not fucking work. I've lost a few relatives to underfunded NHS hospitals...

Oh yeah and Andy Gilchrist swings from the nearest tree just because I don't like him... Damn traitor, forcing us to hold 19,000 troops back in a time of war to cover for strikes that seem to be almost excusively caused by his militant socialism. Firefighters get paid good wages for unskilled work and a 16% rise over 3 years is fucking excellent not to mention the excellent pensions and such. If they were so hard done by then every firefighter job that becomes available wouldn't be massively appllied for.

State church goes bye, bye as well. Fuck that. Seperation of church and state will become law and strictly enforced.

A lot of crimes suddenly find their punishment becoming 'bullet in the head the morning after the trial.' Criminals will be a lot less willing to commit crime when death is the mandatory punishment.

Death of the welfare state or at least massive cutbacks and restrictions. Too much abuse makes this cost a fucking fortune. The amount of dole scrounging scum where I live is beyond a joke - they must be costing the system an absolute fortune.

Less state funded shit. We stick our noses in where it just doesn't belong. Arts? Who gives a shit? They can fund themselves or wither away.

I wouldn't join the Euro. I just don't feel it's such a great idea to tie our economy to the mainland in such a way. It takes away some of our ability to adapt to current economic conditions. A federal Europe could kiss my hairy ass, I'd sooner become a state of America - less French people for a start

One more thing...I would also enact a permanent amendment to the Constitution that could never be altered mandating that the U.S. never come to the military aid of France ever again.

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2003-03-24 03:22pm

It is with great reluctance that I have agreed
to this calling. I love democracy... I love America.
But I am mild by nature, and I do not desire to see the
destruction of democracy. The power you give me I will lay
down when this crisis has abated, I promise you. And as my
first act with this new authority, I will create a grand
army of America to counter the increasing threats of
the terrorists.

Even as we speak, elements of the Imperial Navy lead by Grand Admiral Shepard are advancing on enemy locations.

::Cut to shots of ignorant protestors being cut down by laser fire. Intelligent outspeakers are congratulated for independant thought::

::else where units advance on enemy buildings and towns::

I have dissolved the Senate and place direct control in the hands of the regional Moffs. God bless America.

1.)Institute a better tax code without so many loopholes and stupid taxes.

2.)Reorganize Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to work better at getting people out of poverty. It's not enough to give people barely enough money to live they also have to have a means of getting out of poverty.

3.)Affirmitive Action stays legal. Deal with it. The damage done to such a large group of people for a dozen decades can't be undone by simply standing around doing nothing...Try and tell someone from the inner city that he has an equal opportunity to get into college while maintaining a straight face...I dare you...

3.)Foreign Policy that doesn't piss off nation after nation.

4.)Pay our dues to the UN. And then some. Using the UN to reduce worldwise suffering is morally required in my opinion...hell 50 bucks to UNICEF can save a dozen kids from dying...(Living High, Letting Die ~ Peter Unger)

5.)Increase research into alternate energy sources. Oil won't last forever.

6.)Reorganize NASA to get away from boondoggles like the SpaceStation/Shuttle and into stuff with redeeming value while increaseing commercialization of space.

7.)Conquer Canada.

1. Change the national anthem to The Imperial March.

2. Make Puerto Rico a state while at the sametime, launching an invasion of Mexico and Canada. Hello 51st, 52nd, and 53rd states.
3. Declare Iraq a US territory.
4. Make some education laws and such. Mostly let the VP handle that kind of stuff.
5. Convince Britain and Aussieland to sign acts of union with the US.
6. Declare the creation of the Imperial States of America, or the ISA.
7. Conquer the rest of the world.

8. Change name to Imperium of Man or Terran Empire.

These are of course, in jest, but I can think of serious changes.

Conquer Greater Montana and Texas South by an actual delaration war. "Protect" the rest of the Americas by taking a hardcore view on the Monroe Doctrine. Invade and remove Fieldo Castro. Cut social secruity slowly and cut all dead beats off from welfare. Pull all military forces from europe except from Britain and up them too take control of the continent. Change the the US's name to "The Grand Americian Imperium".
