Laws you would demand were passed so that you could have it your way if you suddenly became the President of US, or a Unified Earth(concept).
Example:
Only one pardon (2nd chance), except for the most violent crimes (no 2nd chances), otherwise it's eye for eye law.
(to the governing bodies of this fine site: please delete thread if no decent amount of responses generated in near future!)
oooo theres alot of things I would want to do but I would be here forever if I described my power fantasizes.
I would ban Political correctness
I would ban Feminism / have it reclassified as a mental illness
Politicians would be required to take a course on statistics so that they can damn well do their jobs and stop making things up
The above for the reason of ignorance causing so much damage to the fabric of society that it will take generations to heal.
I would also make a antimarxist/ anticommunist history day where everyone would learn and be reminded of the evil that is been caused by that foul ideology. *
I would fund nanotechnology and the redevelopment of a Space programe.
That would make a good law for this thread
Those found to be propagating the spread of Marxism or any of its variants to be imprisoned for not less than 5 years in hard labor camps in addition those who deny the abuses of communism to be required to be retrained and shown the failure that is socialism in all forms retraining to take however long is required for that individual to accept the abuses caused by that system(should only take a month in most cases)
Thats a few ideas of mine kicking around.
Another would be to enforce intellectual honesty but how you do that I don't know.

Anyhow, if I became Emperor of the Earth, I would do the following:
1. Get rid of the funeral dirge celebrating unelected German theocrats known as "God Save the Queen" as the British anthem and replace it with the far better hymn "Jerusalem".
2. Get America a better national anthem. No strong opinions, but leaning toward America the Beautiful.
3. Take all of the money spent on fashion designers, pet-clothes, and similar pointless things and funnel it into the space program.
4. Because it would be neat, get Bethesda to remake Morrowind with current technology but getting Michael Kirkbride back as a developer.
5. Create a large-budget miniseries of both the Gaea series by John Varley (Titan, Wizard, Demon) and A Canticle for Leibowitz.
Well you wouldn't do it by banning things that you personally dislike or don't agree with. If something is blatantly wrong like geocentrism then you don't need to ban it because an educated population can see it for themselves. However if you ban feminism then you're just getting rid of things you have a gripe with which runs counter to promoting intellectual honesty. You can't be intellectually honest if you're not allowed to explore the other half of the story.

You know, it would be hilarious if Marx ever comes alive as a zombie and says something like "Geez, calm down guys. That was all tongue-in-cheek! We should keep on exploiting the workers!".
I could remove the laws the require future elections and declare myself president for life. Then institute Prima Nocta, and outlaw anything that isnt music, award show or a cartoon from mtv specifically the creators of 16 and pregnant would be giving life sentence in my sky cell.
The people who decided to remake the ghost busters would be hung drawn and quartered. (after a fair trial)
Sabotage. I'd do everything in my power to obstruct the pile of federal agencies who fall under the Executive aegis. At every press conference, when people asked about my agenda or etc, I'd simply reply that it is the Congress's job to make laws, God help us, and merely my job to carry them out. Every time. If it were possible I'd actually abolish various executive agencies, but I'd probably just have to settle for sabotage...delaying funding approval, procrastinating on filling vacant posts, reducing salaries to such a degree that no one would want to do the work, that sort of thing.
I will set up an intelligence agency to spy on the NSA and all other intelligence agencies around the planet. This agency will receive 5 times as much funding as all other American intelligence organizations combined and will be funded by a new tax on the rich. The agency's goal will be to produce weekly, monthly and annual reports, which will all be uploaded to wikileaks. Stephen Colbert will be hired to summarize the reports each week to the American public on national TV.
I will also repeal the ban on kinder eggs and usher in a new era of American prosperity and awesomeness.
Under my rule every month will have a long weekend, every American will have 4 weeks of mandated & paid vacation, and a new high speed rail link will be established with our friends in Canada.
Furthermore, a slick looking American base is going to be built on the moon and Hulk Hogan will be flown there for the opening ceremonies to rip open an air lock which is not really an air lock. This will usher in a new beginning in American space dominance. A steel cage match betwen Elon Musk and the Undertaker will place on Mars under an American flag before 2020.
