Again based on the idea that you can get Congress to go along with those moves...
Unless of course you would plan to use E.O's to accomplish it but I get the feeling you would be against that.
I will have many laws that are against the Constitution abolished.
Who decides if these laws are good and constitutional?
Let me guess, you?
Major problem: While I agree with abolishing Unconstitutional laws, I am seeing a LOT of Unconstitutional new laws in your proposal. The Constitution protects the integrity and rights of corporations and industry just as much as it protects the rights of individual citizens. A lot of your corporate ideology seems to come very close to nationalization of industries and companies... that's Unconstitutional as all hell, friend. Your platform is populist, but absolutely no less an affront to the spirit of what the FOunders envisioned for America than the crap we have in office now.

Corporations are not people in my opinion.

I think I've got that correct...
I question that the President of the United States, being part of the Executive Branch, has the power / Legal Authority to accomplish the majority of the items on the list.
The Congressional bodies in the Legislative Branch are the only ones able to "Create New Law".
The Presidents only leverage over Congress is Executive Orders, and veto power on Congressional Bills.
The Congress has the ability to over-ride The Presidents veto.
I think I've got that correct...
Per the Constitution, that's not your decision to make unless you are a Supreme Court Justice, though. I'm reading your platform and seeing you hug the Constitution with one hand while pie-facing it with the other... same as most politcians do today.

I would be willing to risk everything to make America a proud nation.
I understand that, but the way to do it is to eliminate the Unconstitutional, period. If America would read the 10th Amendment and demand it be followed, 50% of this nation's failure would evaporate. To deal properly with all of your corporate issues, support traditional national protectionism. Enact tariffs, enact trade reform, eliminate global free trade, and support economic barriers to imported goods. These can all be done within the framework of the Constitution... nationalizing and/or outright shuttering of corporations that don't march alongside you cannot.
