I would be unalived within a week or, taken behind closed doors and told that I have no power.
Day 1 Executive Orders:
Government Regulation
1. Ban stock trading from all elected government officials
2. Yearly audits on all elected government employees to ensure no financial wrong doings
3. Ban paid speaking engagements for all elected government employees
1 is somewhat controversial but not a huge deal. No impact. President can't do that unilaterally, though. 2 would require many more gov't employees and wouldn't really do anything. Again, the president can't unilaterally do that, and the GOP was already screeching about an increase in IRS agents. Paid speaking engagements are already banned for Congress (members and even high-level staffers) and the Executive Branch. Laws vary in terms of state officials. Again, president can't unilaterally do this.
Economy
1. Ban all job outsourcing with minor exceptions. If you cannot find a suitable employee locally, you can outsource but most pay the same wage and offer the same benefits. Outsourcing is a loophole, a job destroyer and must be ended
2. Tax every Wall Street transaction - Tax payers will receive a yearly tax statement of the amount of money made from Wall Street transactions and it will go to a UBI fund for all Americans. If Wall Street is going to use your money, everyone gets a dividend check from it monthly.
1. We currently have extremely low unemployment and a labor shortage. This would be a good way to shrink the economy and drive up inflation.
2. I like the idea of an SWF, but I think this would be a poor way to fund it.
Also, presidents can't do this unilaterally.
