Following the Constitution
Like most presidential candidates, I believe the president is accountable and the powers of the President should be limited to those granted in the Constitution. Unlike the other candidates, I plan on fully limiting my powers to those granted in the Constitution.
Sadly, our last few presidents haven’t particularly cared for the Constitution. Former President Bush called the Constitution a, “God damned piece of paper.” He also sent and kept our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan without a formal declaration of war being declared by Congress. Our current president is no better. He withdrew a few troops from Iraq only to add more troops to Afghanistan. He also sent troops to Libya on a “NATO mission.” What a NATO mission basically means is a military action funded by the United States and fought with American troops with a foreigner in charge of military action.
I would withdraw all troops from these areas unless I receive a formal declaration of war from Congress. Troops would be limited to Canada. As I have stated before, a war with Canada would only be fought from 9-5 from Monday through Friday. There would be no war on weekends or holidays. If I can’t be bothered with crap on weekends and holidays, our troops shouldn’t be bothered either. This is leadership by example.
I will only serve two terms (unless I am not reelected). Americans will be encouraged to practice free speech against the Canadian government. Freedom of religion will be recognized to all Christians (even Baptists.) The Constitution is the law of the land and I can live with that.

I’m saving my constitution for marriage.
Your parents must be proud of you! I hope my daughter saves hers too.
My brother is in the Army in Afghanistan and he says it’s one big vacation. I think he’s lying. If he isn’t and you pull all the troops out of foreign countries, they might have to work in the US. You will lose the military vote. I’d be quiet about your troop withdrawl plan until you are elected.
My brother also tells me if he told me what he really does over there, he’d have to kill me. I think he’s just looking for an excuse.
