That said, were I President for a day with the magical power to do anything I wanted without reversal...I'd pull US troops out of Iraq/Afghanistan, institute single payer health care, and force people who campaign for the office of the President to put their jobs before their campaigns, i.e. show up in Congress when it's time to vote instead of schmoozing with special interest groups. <em>meloukhia's last blog post..</em><a href='http://www.meloukhia.net/2007/11/not_a_river.html' rel="nofollow">Not a River</a> One of the interesting things about the office of the President/Prime Minister is his or her actions are reversible through acts of Congress/Parliament, making the concept of being “Queen for a day” nice, but ultimately totally not practical.
