I would immediately sign a single Executive Order canceling out all prior Executive Orders, this will be the only one I sign.
Next, I would make it clear to Congress that I will veto each and every bill that crosses my desk that doesn't have a specific Constitutional provision authorizing Congress to pass that law. Any law invoking General Welfare or the Commerce Clause will immediately be rejected.If they override the veto, I'll just refuse to enforce whatever the bill says.
I will call the heads of every Department (except for State, Defense, Justice and Treasury) and have them give me a 200 page essay, in three days, as to why their job is relevant to the betterment of the nation. Anyone who doesn't give a satisfactory argument, including actual charts and data for the success of their program, or anyone who invokes the name Paul Krugman, will be fired immediately and all the staff under him will be placed on indefinite unpaid leave, effectively shutting down the Department. The Department of Homeland Security goes first and I won't even bother asking for the essay. I'll only salvage the FBI, the functions of the CIA and NSA will be rolled into them and those two bureaus scrapped.
I will in instruct the Justice Department to immediately discontinue the War on Drugs, disband the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The Treasury Department will be on standing orders to not pay any money we do not have and to have an indefinite moratorium on all new borrowing practices, the energy of the Treasury Department will be focused on paying down the debt.
I will immediately cancel all Social Security and Medicare payments for those not already receiving it and immediately cancel all Medicaid benefits and instruct the IRS to not collect on the payroll taxes for any of these programs.
I will publicly send the Code of Federal Regulations, with the exception of Part 48 (governing how the government buys stuff) through a shredder on live television and tell everyone that they no longer apply to anyone.
I will invoke Eminent Domain on the UN building and tell them to find another place to have their pointless meetings.
I'll send a demolition crew to the Federal Reserve Bank and give all occupants 30 minutes to vacate the premises, with standing orders to start destruction at exactly 30 minutes after the warning. I'll sell tickets to the event and use it to pay down debt.
I'll tell Congress, who is likely to complain about this, to try and enforce their stern, UN-style warnings to get all the departments, programs and money flowing again.
Buy a yacht, sail it out to sea because, by the end of the day, there will be an army of pitchfork wielding group of welfare recipients, union officials, politicians and other parasitic members of society marching on the White House and it's about time to get out of there.
