What
would you change if you were president? I would make animal cruelty a felony punishable by 20 years
in person without the possibility of parole. I would legalize marinjuana (to take the
profit out of selling drugs), and, lastly, I would wake the residency of the presdent a
farm.
Bruno, 31

I would work on public education. It's an
issue that I really don't think the issue can be ignored any longer!
Susan, 32
Chicago, IL
USA
"If I were king, if I were king, then I
could do most anything." As President I would not be able to change human nature, but
I would explore possibilities and implement ways of helping citizens overcome bureaucracy.
Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA
I don't think the president has the power to
change anything. But if he did and I were him I'd stop giving tax breaks to parents so
that the people who cost the most pay the most and overpopulation is discouraged.

I would really focus on children making sure
they had all sorts of opportunities to stay safe, learn, have guidance and support in
their lives. I we insured that every child grew up with the intellectual, social,
emotional, and physical tools to make them successful in life, many of the issues
surrounding us today would be dramatically less. Oh yeah, supporting children by extension
means supporting their families.
Felicia, 34
Lowell, MA
USA
My focus would be environmental and
education, two areas badly in need of improvement. Id concentrate on improving inner-city
education quality and building more and better
environmental protection programs.
Talia, 23
Wilton, CT
USA
I'd change the designation of the
President's spouse from First Lady to First Gentleman! More seriously, I'd try to remember
that the Federal Government should stay out of issues reserved by the constitution to
state and local governments.
Jane, 60
West Linn, OR
USA
I wouldn't be president. But if I were I'd
make more laws to protect the environment, forbid the MANUFACTURE (not the ownership) of
guns, keep abortion legal (not because I think it's a good thing, but because I think it's
none of politicians' business), make stricter hunting limits, allow gays in the military
but absolutely forbid the draft under any circumstances except the prevention of something
drastic like Armagaeddon, force any company (such as Nike) to pay dearly for using slave
labor, especially child slave labor, make a legal limit for alcohol consumption in general
rather than just for driving--oh, how people would hate me.
Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames, IA USA
I never would be president... I live in
Canada where there is a Prime Minister
Dianne, 16
Oshawa, Ontario CANADA
Duh...our voting system for
starters.
Fisch, 45
Preston, CT
USA
I wouldn't want to be president... too much
responsibility! Besides, I'm no good at naming countries and their capitals...
Jeremy, 13
Highlands Ranch, CO USA
From what I've read, the president doesn't
initiate things much. He/she mostly carries out what others have decided.
Reba, 51
Rockville, MD
USA
I'd pass the Equal Rights Amendment, kill
the Defense of Marriage Act, and require policies prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation.
etoile, 19
Washington, DC USA
If I was president, I would stop the
interest in Foreign Affairs and worry about the concerns in our own country. I think it is
awfully ironic that we invent a pill to help people have sex (Viagra) but still have no
cure for when they do have sex and become infected w/aids.
Dream Queen
Make Abortion illegal unless it is
from rape, incest, or the mother could die
Melodi, 19
Hlliard, OH
USA
The list is ENDLESS. First and foremost, I
would change the laws protecting animals rights, and they would be much more strict and
consequential. The ones they have now are weak and pathetic. I would outlaw hunting and
trapping. I would illegalize fur and leather. I would try my best to bring this species to
its full potential and bring them out of this caveman society we're living in. But this
is, of course, if I was president. Being that I never will be. No one would vote for
me....very few people want a real change.
Lisa J., 22
TN USA
I would make sure all the starving people in
the U.S. got food,nice homes,nice clothes and everything else they needed.
Savannah
I would change the way the country disposes
of it's trash. The country really does need to have a national recycling program.
Stephanie, 25
TX USA
The way
education is pushed aside like a chore rather than a gift. And I'd wear Groucho Marx
glasses. We need to laugh.
Amy, 24
New Orleans, LA USA
kick out the electorial collage, institute
manditory paid PMS sick days, pay back the natives, and then surrender to Canada.
Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA
I would change the people in the government
so it wasn't all stuffy, upperclass, aging politicians running the show. I would put
in some more ordinary and average people.
Karen2, 15
Boston, MA
USA
i'd get government out of the free
market--let's hear it for the French!'
