    Make it possible for government offices to purchase supplies from the cheapest location.

    Right now they must be purchased from a small list of minority owned businesses, all of which charge 5 to 6 times more than anywhere else.

    That would be pretty much it.

    The President has very little ability or power.

    I am definitely not presidential material. If I were in the Oval Office on 9/11, I would have been an inconsolable basket case and incapable of not crying. I'd be asking the military persons for kleenex.

    Well she said she would order a big meal from the white house cooks. I on the other hand would start meeting with lobbyists and big donors. LOL I mean look at this $700 million* you can hire a ton of relatives with that and get a kickback. But the real money is in the Congress they get $3.5 year** from the lobbyists poor guys.

    I would deport all non-Americans and maybe allow certain racial groups to remain if they agree to work as "indentured servants." This country was built by white Solutrean Americans and that's who it belongs to. Why should other groups be allowed to reap the benefits of our nation while contributing nothing?

    Declare martiall law and proclaim myself president for life. Use drones to spy on my enemies and security forces to quell any displays of public disobedience.

    Electoral reforms. Limit electoral spendings and make elections publicly-funded.
