I'd rid the world of poverty, bring global peace, balance the federal budget, and cap off the evening by watching re-runs of Family Guy.

Either I would plan to start targetting corrupt Congressman...

or

...Get myself involved in a scandal involving a cannon, dozens of pairs of scissors, Gilbert Godfrey, and a woman from Cornwall.

Edit: I just read my own post and realized how violent it sounds. It would be funny to make it sound that way, and then do something completely different.

First I make the promise to uphold the Constuition, then I give a speech casting vision of returning America to her original intent. After that I'll go to the Oval Office and sign Excutive Order 11110 restoring sound money and expect Congress to have a Abolish the Fed Act on my desk within the first week of my presidency. Then I go to Buttonwood in New York City aka Ground Zero and give a speech acknowledging our dependence on God and seek His forgiveness and mercy for our nation. Around 7pm go to JHOP and spend time in Bible reading and prayer. Return to the Oval Office around 9:30pm and give what will be a fireside chat on encouraging the states to ban abortion with Pro-Life amendments in the states.

The President has freedom of religion, so he has the freedom to do a national prayer.

---Suspend Drone strikes in Pakistan.
---Announce the withdrawal of all US troops from Afghanistan as soon as possible.
---Ask Congress to reopen investigations into 9/11, OK City, Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Operation Fast & Furious so we can settle conspiracy theories once and for all.

I know that. I just love how he and other presidents conveniently leave out atheists, agnostics, secularists, etc.

I'd start planning on who'd I'd appoint to the Supreme Court (Pro Life judges).  And slowly start working to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Than I'd try to bring democracy to Cuba by negotiating with Cuban leaders in a neutral location.

* Tax reform (Modified flat tax)
* education reform
* immigration reform (No Amnesty)

Points 2,3, and 4 are day 2 of my presidency.

No I didn't. I'm repenting as president for the actions of another president. Read a book called The Harbinger by Jonathon Cahn  to understand the actions I'd take on that matter.

As president I would regularly ask the American people to seek the guidence of Divine Providence regarding important matters of state. Benjamin Franklin, not known as one of our more religious founders, called the Constituitional Convention to a season of prayer.
