You’ll be the first against the wall.
Votes smotes. Take power don’t ask for it.
Is the position of Smiter filled? I can smite with the best of them.

Also, schools will teach about the world, rather than about the United States. Oh, and Phoenix will be banned, too. It’s far too hot for people to live, anyway.

Ah, but will the tax rate be? And where are you going to put the redlight districts and canals? What about cheese? Are you for old or new cheese?
And on the school subsidy thing, can you set it to a certain level instead of by age? That will kickstart the economy by getting all of the “baby boomers” to quit their jobs to go back to school and study what they always dreamed of. You’ll be the edumuhcation _and_ new jobs dictator!
One last point, does this mean that the US football team will now have lots of talent but never win anything that matters?
