I would pass a law to make me EMPEROR! Than I would destroy all religions, legalize all drugs, make everyone pay a flat-unavoidable tax, end free trade policies, leave the middle-east to their own fate, develop alternative energies -including nuclear, have a universal health-care system, set-up a minefield between the US and Mexico, make all drug manufacturers who get a subsidy from the government for researching new drugs (that would include all of them) sell those drugs at a reasonable price, and put Donald Rumsfeld in prison for his incompetence in managing the military!\n\nYeah, and then I'd sit back, drink a Heineken and admire my awesome accomplishments.

All laws are drafted in Congress, after they pass through Congress the president may sign them and they become law.  We don't have a king or laws decreeded by the king/President.

How about if I could keep just one U.S. law...\n\nthe one that gives the Federal Government \n\nONE JOB\n\nAND\n\nONLY ONE JOB...\n\nto protect us from foreign invasion.\n\nThen they could leave us alone with the rest of their control tactics. Where's the freedom in this FREE COUNTRY?

I'd like to see the day when every single law has to go through the public's scrutinization before being allowed to pass. \nI'd love to be able to determine whether or not to give myself a 23% raise every year! \nI would like to be able to vote on how and what our tax money is spent on.\n I also would like to have politicians buy their own cars with their own salaries. \nIt would be great but I'm not holding my breath on it!!

My choice would be a conservative, Republican, NRA member with a concealed carry permit.  As far as politicians go, George Bush is doing a great job keeping us safe.  Bill Clinton allowed terrorism to thrive and grow during his years in office and I sure don't want Hillary in the White House.

D.\n\n\nDuh.\n\nA. The President uses vetoes all the time.\nB. The President takes an oath of office.\nC. THE PREAMBLE IS A PART OF THE CONSTITUTION!\n\n\nSo, like I said....D.

The First President of the United States of America was George Washington.

Of course not. You should be the first one to obey the constitution because you swore to abide by it

I would first make all americans realise that this great country build on solid christian foundations realise that we have gone astray from the biblical principals and the convictions of our founding fathers. I would call for a fast and ask the nation to rededicate itself to God and cleanse the nation of all ungodliness and get rid of all idolatory and sin and once again urge people to honour God and follow what God wants us to do.

before it becomes law, it is called a bill. it has to go through 3 readings in Parliament. The first being its introduction, the second to understand its need and the third to make amendments to the bill, if any. After that it is sent to the President for his assent-ion. The Bill becomes law on the day it is in the gazette. hope that will help

The same as we learn in Kindergarten.\n1. No taking anyone else's stuff.\n2. Keep your own stuff straight.\n3. Treat others as you want to be treated.\n4. Everyone has to chill (nap) at least once a day.\nAnd then one I'd add:\n5. I can make as many laws as I want.

As soon as it was enacted.  The First Amendment is a part of the US Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.  Any legislation or law can only be a law if it complies with the constitution.\n\nSo I guess the answer to your question would be December 15, 1791 when it was passed or ratified by the states and added to the constitution.

Undo all the damage BushCo has done and pass a single Executive Order negating every one he and the last 2 predecessors had declared....including repealing the Military Commissions Act which would re-institute Habeus Corpus. This would re-establish the US Constitution as THE supreme law of the land instead of what a small group of plutocrats privately decide. \n\nThen abolish the privately owned Federal Reserve bank and return the creation of money back to the people whom it belongs. This would also establish the tax code as it was originally designed to be - leaving a man's wages alone.
