The first thing I would do as king is appoint someone to handle all the matters of state and get on with doing fun shit.

Uh no. I can't bear to see Shatner in skin tights, again. It was bad enough in 1984 or was it 6..

I would assume he meant to bring them back in their 1960s age. Why complain about an old and fat Kirk, when even more disgusting would be a dead and decayed Scotty and Bones?

3. Marijuana legalization? Since it's federal law, I'll leave it up to the public whether they are ready to accept it or not. But, it comes in a big package - they're voting for alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana as one package. It's all or none. I'm pretty sure "all" is going to win.

FYI: George Washington was a major player in the growth and distribution of Marijuana.

1780s: The growing and sales and use of Marijuana was perfectly legal, but England wanted George Washington executed for Murder.
2000s: In at alternate universe where a cloned/reincarnated George Washington is alive and kicking, USA would want George Washington executed as a Drug Kingpin.

Either time frame, someone always wants you dead, just for different reasons. Pity that our modern day politicians would have our founding fathers executed/assassinated for multiple offenses ranging from terrorism to drug trade.

Execute all prison inmates serving life sentences.

Make the death penalty mandatory for anyone convicted of murder or three non-murder violent felonies.

Execute Bernard Madoff for good measure.

Take away the right to vote from anyone who doesn't pay income taxes.

Mandatory sterilization for people who spend more than a couple years on public assistance.

I'd wish myself a pile of money. It'll take a hell of a lot more than one wish to fix this mess, so even trying is right out. Might as well get mine.

So...basically everything would be exactly like it is now. Your leader(s) would rob you, leaving you worse off than before and nothing would change.

Ban the import of any foriegn energy/resources... (Within 5yrs... Maybe only N.A. allowed?)

By the time my young kids are grown the US would be completely independent again.. A few bumps here and there but it'll be worth it... Make no mistake about it, we are owned by the same people who want us dead... Doesn't make much sense does it??
