First, I'll do what is constitutionally permissible without legislation from Congress:

1) Sign executive orders that outlaw the usage of drones for killing, setup military tribunals in Guantanamo Bay that are observed by UN inspectors and are run in a format compliant with the Geneva Conventions, cease government enforcement of PATRIOT act provisions allowing for unwarranted surveillance, etc. Also, pardon Edward Snowden.

2) Pardon non-violent drug offenders after review by a commission to determine competency, and cease usage of military style tactics in the War on Drugs.

3) Issue a proclamation that officially apologizes for American actions that have violated either our laws, international customs, or basic human decency. Examples include but are no means limited to our overthrow of democracies in Iran/Guatemala/Chile/Argentina, our leadership role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, torture at Guantanamo Bay, etc. Make a commitment not to engage in these actions in the future.

4) Stop the federal provision of military-style equipment to local police forces.

5) Grant a federal pardon to all undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States, subject to removal in the event that criminal activity is demonstrated by a court of law. Basically taking President Obama's DAPA program to include the vast majority of the 11 million people here without papers.

***
My legislative agenda would consist of bills establishing national health insurance, abolishing the Social Security payroll tax cap, raising the minimum wage to 12-15 dollars an hour, debt-free colleges, legalization of marijuana, immigration reform, etc.

Look pretty and sign documents. That's really all the power a head of state in a Constitutional Monarchy has. And it's even less pressure since I'm not an actual Monarch, but I'm the Monarch's representative, so just I'll just keep the seat warm, collect my paycheque and sign bills into law. Shit, sounds like an easy ass job. Low pressure, low presence, and nice pension.

Pinochet's helicopter rides and rentals would become the sole contractor for transportation for Uncle Sam. Then I'd be exposed as being a morally corrupt shitbag who likes to throw leftists out of helicopters. Of course I'd have an Ollie North-esque figure to claim I knew nothing about it. However, we'd all know I ordered it anyway. I'd have to step down to keep up appearances or face impeach on a drummed up charge. Realistically, its perfectly possible something like this would happen if I got power. I know myself and I know I'd go mad with it. That being said, I'd have a bitchin' page in the history books. I hope somebody would make a meme out of me in the future too.

I would surround myself with people that share my left-libertarian sensibilities, but know more about politics than I do, and I would delegate a lot to them.

That would make the the freakin' King of England (I'm Canadian). I'd just party and buy a bunch of shit. I wouldn't have any power so I'd play things cool and keep it PC or else I might get screwed over.

Assuming I have some clout to force shit through Congress then I'll have quite a bit to do.

-Unoccupied houses will be seized, for the purpose of housing the homeless.
-Landlords will have their property expropriated and given to their tenants.
-All transportation and communication companies would be nationalized.
-Nationalize the energy sector.
-Fully socialized healthcare.
-Repeal all anti-union laws.
-30 hour workweek.
-Take the top 500 companies into public ownership, as well as bankrupt companies.
-Repeal all free-trade agreements.
-Abolish for profit-prisons and prison labor.
-Purge the police departments throughout the United States, in order to create a better suited leadership more able to serve their communities.
-Abolish the NSA.
-Begin work on high-speed public transportation.
-Remove all American troops from foreign soil.
-Repeal the Patriot Act.
-Slash the military budget.
-Free education for all, all the way through college.
-Stop home foreclosures and evictions. For public ownership and democratic control of the major banks.
-Raise the federal minimum wage to a living wage.
-Get assassinated by bourgeoisie.

All I can think of now.
