First and foremost, I'd bring all our men and women home from places where the locals don't want them, ie okinawa, the middle east. Let those places fend for themselves. Next, I'd increase NASA spending on the order of 10 times or so.

Edit: Actually, come to think of it, I'd dump the F-35 program and give all that money to NASA.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver, Chaplain I would do my damnedest to stop giving money to every country except our own. We give money to countries like Pakistan and what do we get in return? How about we start re-investing in our infrastructure.

1. Create a US Infrastructure Act to create jobs within the US, employing only US Citizens to better our Transportation, Electrical, and Communication Systems!

2. Cut Social Service Spending, Welfare limited to 12 months for every ten years of Taxable previous years worked. After 12 months, Civil Service work camps to help with bullet 1. above.

3. Cut DoD Spending, Bring all Troops Conus. IF you want US Soldiers on your soil for threat protection, you will pay for it. Build a larger Special Operations Command, smaller AD and get rid of the IRR, ING, and the OCONUS deploying NG. The NG, Border Patrol and Homeland defense serve the same mission.

4. 4 yr max politician term limits. NO elected government official shall be in office for more than 4 consecutive years and no more than 12 years total service.

5. Fix the VA... NO EXCUSES!

6. Consolidate the "many" branches of the Armed Forces into two branches, Water and Ground under one command structure "US ARMED FORCES".

7. Toughen BOOT CAMP, its not a Camp...it should be HELL! Every 18yr old male should have to attend a 3 month training, just in case WWIII. They need to know how to protect themselves, their family and citizens of the USA!

8. Cut Foreign Spending until and unless the USA has a balanced budget and NO national debt.

9. Support NATO and mind our own business as a country. Let NATO do its job and only get involved if asked by NATO!

10. I could go on and on...

You're first 100 days is getting your cabinet in place, while getting updated on things. After the first 6mo. Is passed is when you can start doing things. One thing I would do is activate an old part of the FBI, that rooted our corruption in government and have them focus on elected officials in congress, and the corporate/lobbiest/foreign interest groups with there hands in the pockets of the elected and work towards cleaning house within the first two years. While cutting corporate welfare, and pushing for tax credits for corporations that move factories back to usa. Also create a small business friendly environment so that the American dream can become a reality again.

That's the basics of what I would do.

1) Assemble my super team (Cabinet).
2) Appoint any vacancies that I can.
3) Revoke any Executive orders that need to based on guidance from my Attorney General & Solicitor General.
4) Use Executive Orders as needed to just eliminate issues. First and foremost, just shift Marijuana down the CSA from Schedule 1 to Schedule X (allowing Medical research), but still allowing enforcement of laws. Gov. Johnson researched this during the last election, and this is within the Executives Power.
5) Shut down the "We the People" Petition site, and put up a notice which says "This administration is not interested in the 'Theater' of Democracy. We are happy to field issues as they come in. Please send all requests to [login to see] ... Although we (the Administration) cannot personally respond to every request, we can parse them for common themes, and will keep running "answers" to questions on this page.
6) Immediately Submit the following Constitutional Amendment to Congress:
- All Elected Servants to the People are limited to thirty years of Federal Elected Service.
What they do with it is on them. They can shorten it. They can ignore it. They can pass it to the States, but at least I tried.
7) Go home kiss my wife.
8) Make my list for day 2.

Most likely? Not much. I'm certain I would TRY to accomplish a lot, but with partisan politics the way it is, I imagine most of my time would be spent facepalming and shaking my head...

Push through all the pending court case with Native Americans that have been stalled for decades. Take the death penalty from the states and make it a Federal only system, appoint judges to sit on nothing but death penalty appeals. ask the American public to bombard their legislatures to revoke automatic pay raises, revoke travel back to their respective districts more than twice a year as it used to be. mandate that all government travel be done by commercial travel in the cheap seats. Stop the absurd practice of bringing professional sports teams to the White House. Invoke a reciprocating tariff act, any nation that has a restrictive tariff against us for any product good, or service, gets an equal tariff x 10 against them. Nations that don't support us, you are cut off. Increase taxes on imported goods, increase the national fuel tax, energy tax. Corporations that have the means, will clean up all of their superfund sites. Impeach any member of the house or senate that does not live to support the constitution against all enemy's foreign and domestic. Impeach any member who attempts to subvert any part of the Constitution, execute by public witness any member who the house and Senate who is guilty of graft, corruption, pedophile, rape, treason, under a special interests control. Did I miss anything?

Hard to say, it really depends on what the current issues are at the time.

-I think for starters I would make it mandatory that both woman and men to serve a minimum two years in the military.
-All immigrants to also serve at least two years to gain residency.
-Make it a federal law that all hospitals honor VA medical during emergency and or life threatening situations.
-Require all state funding to be used in priority of all areas including law enforcement, medical and public schools first and ranches. Anything left would be disbursed in thats states individual needs.
-Administer the death penalty to anyone involved in sex trafficking of infants, toddlers and small children.
-Make healthy food affordable again and junk food less financially accessible
-Reform welfare to be used no longer then 12 months and and in a cycle to be reused again after 5 or 10 years.
-Presidentially pardon all US citizens who were arrested and convicted due to civilian and illegal immigrants using their identity to commit criminal acts. Pending proper federal investigations of course.

And that's all I can think of right now that I would do.
