2. Outlaw K Street
Just order all dems to never speak to a single lobbyist, ever. Put them out of business almost instantly.

3. 100 hour plan
Day One: Put new rules in place to “break the link between lobbyists and legislation.”

Day Two: Enact all the recommendations made by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Time remaining until 100 hours: Raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, maybe in one step. Cut the interest rate on student loans in half. Allow the government to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.

Broaden the types of stem cell research allowed with federal funds–”

In a nutshell, keep the promises they made.

6. Lock themselves into the Capitol building for a year
That should be enough time to correct most of the damage this admin has done to the Nation.
