Would you rather be the president or millionaire. You can only have one but you can have both. Note: There are some loopholes.

 

Millionaire who wants the stress of president screw that i'll take my millions and set back and relax. I figure i am 21 i got another 60 years y not just be stress free for the rest of them.

 

i'll take millionaire any day. president has no appeal to me.

 

Millionaire.

 

so you all would give up the chance to change the world and have an impact on how the US goes down in history for a million dollars? You can set things right as president. You have power that money can't buy, but he can have all that, just give me the million dollars so i can buy a nice quiet spot in the suburbs somewhere and be unknown.

 

President! For sure. It is worth way more than a million dollars. You can make that ten fold on your memoirs. Just think of the pension?

Besides, I could "fix" things that are broken. First things first. The UN building would be turned into a homeless shelter and Kofy Annan would be "hung" on a pay-per-view event. Then...well, please, don't get me started...

 

Oh, really. I wonder how many ex-presidents would agree with you? There are two other branches of government that have a voice as well.

I think being President of the United States would be a poor job. Many other occupations improve the lives of others more that the head beaurocrate. IMHO>

 

Heard of Executive Orders?

I would dismantle many institutions...starting with NASA. To give the people back their taxes.

 

But at least you have a little more say so than just any smoe joe off the street (unless your pockets rae full and you "invest" in the right people.)

 

They are not the normal way that legislation becomes law. As far as I know, only a few Presidents have tested the limits of this unconstitutional scheme. Still, the Supreme Court can overturn you. And then the next President could dismantle your order, no?

Besides, in a democratic republic, representatives of the people are supposed to set the legislative agenda-not the P.

If we want the President to have so much power, then I say go with a parlimentary system.

Then there is the fact that a felon can't run for President. .........so, I'm guessing you're out, BikerDrew?

Disclaimer: I have no hard evidence that BikerDrew is a felon. That's why I said I'm guessing and put it in italics. Its a weak attempt at humor. But, in point of fact, there are quite a high number of felons in congress, relative to other organizaions-or so I read once upon a time.
