You have a super majority in all branches of government, you don't need to consider other parties.

Where do you start, and what is your overall stratergy?

Will you get a second term?

Resign.

This sounds like I would be running a dictatorship and that is not on my bucket list.

    If one Party has won their elections and has the White House and a super majority in both Houses, it's completely legal and right for them to pass the laws they want. As long as they keep holding elections it's not a dictatorship.

    Even if you weren’t running a dictatorship, whatever it is you were running would be a terrible thing with a job that you would hate. And everyone would hate you, too. Especially if you did a good job and fixed things.

    See, this is the reason why I want nothing to do with the job
