Step 5- Outlaw early voting, felons voting, parasites on public assistance voting, and institute mandatory minimum of 25 years for voter fraud.

I have to object on felon voting: if he serves his sentence all rights, privileges, immunities should be restored — to do otherwise creates a second class of citizen.
This second citizen class is a very dangerous thing to allow, for unchecked it will become a de facto caste-system.

Other than this, it's a good list. (Though not all of it can be done solely via the President.)

I can see Katie is lacking in critical thinking skills. Maybe she’d be better off writing children’s books instead of venturing into areas she can’t understand.

Why do you hate children?
After all, they'd be reading her thoughts; teaching them that same lack-of-critical-thinking, no?

Can I add. End Social Security.

The only fix for Social Security is to end it.

institute a flat tax, say 8 cents on the dollar that's it. When the money runs out government stops.

Whoa, that’s quite an endorsement from an Austin liberal. Maybe Cruz should put Katie on his staff.

This is a problem??

With any luck maybe he could bail us out of this administrations ultra-radical left wing agenda and begin to bring back the America most people knew and loved. I like to think people are realizing what voting for political correctness has done to us.

I appreciate your position, but lets be honest here.

Most felons are democrats.

So they should be disenfranchised and can be disenfranchised as the MF’s in Congress haven’t passed an amendment that would guarantee felons the vote.

The concept is to DESTROY the marxists.

Disenfranchising FELONS helps.

Build pipelines to release the railroad to transport crops instead of crude and gas.

Put America back to work.

Take ethanol out of the gas to increase mileage.

All seniors over 66 that work are income tax exempt

Seal the leaking borders.

The FOUNDERS had no problem with limiting the vote to responsible and upstanding members of the Republic.

They didn’t put the right to vote in the Constitution for a REASON

And income tax withholding as well. Let’s see how everybody likes writing a check for a few grand to the federal government every month

Then I think you and I have a misunderstanding — does the serving of a sentence pay one's debt to society or not?
If it does, then how can you justify retaining abridgement of his rights, privileges, etc? If not, then is it not the sentence itself that is lacking?
(And if the sentence is lacking, why should the convicted suffer for it?)

They didn’t put the right to vote in the Constitution for a REASON

And I have nothing against that — the point is that it was applicable uniformly, this is something quite different.
(Moreover, the States reformed the felony-punishments to alleviate some of the harshness inherited from the British system just after the revolution.)

“let’s hope it doesn’t.”

You forget, he has a Congress to get around. And so does he.
