If I were to become president, I think the first thing I will do is faint. My first reaction would be to faint because I will be shocked and surprised at becoming president. 

Obviously I would have worked hard to campaign and persuade people to agree with my views, but actually becoming president will still be a shock. Not to mention that I will probably be the first female president, as well as the first Hispanic person to become president and to top it off it will be unusual that I won’t be married nor have a family. Let’s not even get into the added pressure and responsibility that you will assume as you begin running the country. However, once I rehabilitated from my big faint, I will give a great speech thanking everyone who supported and doubted me and I will also stress the importance of completing my presidential term alive and wholesome.

            After completing the formal acceptance of presidency, I would go to the White House and host the biggest party ever and invite only my closet friends and family. I will give them the grand tour and greet them at the door by saying welcome mi casa es su casa (my house is your house). The day after the party, I will sneak off to Paris and use this opportunity as a getaway trip and a time to live up one of my biggest dreams.

             Upon my return to the United States, the real work will begin. The first thing on my list would be to declare a 3 day weekend, and declare that I will only work from Mon. to Thurs. My explanation to the press would be that increasing the weekend would decrease employment related stress, increase family time and leisure time, and create an opportunity to enjoy life. In addition to these changes, I would also bring home the troops, provide everyone with FREE healthcare, provide homes to the homeless, and public assistance to those in great need. Lastly I would make college free, because no one should pay to achieve knowledge, and I would reduce dependency on foreign oil as well as increase environmental standards and laws.

            Even though my ideas may appear ludicrous, I believe my added changes during presidency would increase our countries economic situation, as well as open many jobs to many people. Just by making college free we are increasing the people’s eligibility to join the corporate world and help better our capitalist economy. I will be the president to achieve change and not just speak about it. After I’m done with my term, the public will refer to me as The Real Wonder Women or That Women of Wisdom.  

If I were the President of the United States, my chief concern would be working on a way to solve America's Energy crisis.  The world as a whole has already passed peak oil a few years ago, and something needs to change lest we end up without energy in 25 years or so when oil will be extremely scarce.  

It seems to me that the three most promising forms of clean renewable energy are solar, wind, and hydroelectric.  In areas along major rivers such as the Mississippi, I would try to start public works projects to build hydroelectric dams.  This could also help curb unemployment, which is above the national average in rural areas like that.  

If possible I would also try to fund research that would lead to non-silicon solar panels, as silicon is also a limited resource which is already beginning to become scarce.  Another option to look into is one that Sweden is pioneering.  Sweden has actually begun using its nation's trash as a fuel to burn, with surprising efficiency.  They even have begun to import trash from Norway, with Norway paying them for the service of trash removal.  If America could gain that technology through some kind of partnership with Sweden, then we could begin doing the same; this would not only reduce our dependence on oil but also bring in revenue AND help the environment.
