So i started making up policies and actions I would do if I were president, and had some people in congress/senate to pass bills:
Bring all foreign stationed troops home
Lock the fed at 3% interest rate but let banks set their own interest rates
Eliminate federal definition of marriage: don't like it? Bus ride to another state costs little. Can't afford it? Don't get gay married.
Eliminate: dept of agriculture, homeland security, education, snergy, fema, etc (i will find out what other trout programs you have and cut them)
Cut: all remaining program funding by 40%
My people will pass the following bills:
Read the bill act
Balanced Budget act
Audit the fed act
Eliminate the corporate tax act
shrink the role of the fed
Veto all:
Bailouts
Foreign aid/bailout
Attempts at any cronyism. This means no candy to citizens
End corporate personhood.
Close guantanamo bay
End the USA PATRIOT ACT , indefinite detention, post acquital detention, ACTA
Veto all nonsense laws like SOPA/PIPA
eliminate all federal laws regarding non violent drug use
Eliminate any prostition laws
Eliminate no silent dancing law at the Jefferson memorial
All tax dollars saved will pay for debt. With no bailouts banks will make saving money attractive and avoid excessive falsely enticing low interest loans to people like me who shouldn't have mortgages they can't afford.

However I thought about forcing the country to recongise same-sex marriages whether the states of the union wanted to or not, so I mused:
Legal question: drivers licenses are state issued, right? If so do other states honour them? Can I force other states to honour marriage licenses from other states?
--------
Hsu says that yes, other states honour foreign drivers licenses. However sometimes things like drinking age or the like do not match, so he said:
[q]fun fact: the age for tobacco, alcohol, and driving is established at the state level and can be contested, but congressional pressure has won out in the past in forcing states to adopt what the other states do - this happened a few decades ago when Louisiana wanted to keep the drinking age at 18. Congress just refused to give them money for interstate projects and their roads went to trout, so they eventually buckled and bumped it to 21 to get more of that sweet federal AIDS.[/q]
So Now I have a question: is there a way for the federal government to force states to recognise all marriage contracts?
Also look at my list and critique / add stuff
