It is the policy of the executive branch of the United States to pursue every constitutional action available to halt and reverse the recession in our economy. The collection of taxes is an essential responsibility of the federal government. However, as President of the United States, I have taken an oath of office to uphold the United States Constitution. Among the purposes of the U.S. Constitution is to "promote the general welfare" of the American people. In light of the recent economic news, therefore, I order the following:

Section 2: Creation of Economic Recovery Task Force Commission (ERTFC)

The ERTFC will be chaired by the President of the United States and consist of the Vice President of the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Labor, and the Council of Economic Advisors.

Section 3: Responsibilities of the Economic Recovery Task Force Commission (ERTFC) 

The functions of the ERTFC are advisory only. The ERTFC shall meet regularly and shall:

(i) determining the economic impact of the global recession on both American industries and the American citizens and forecast the economy over the coming month;

(ii) design, implement, and evaluate policies to promote the growth of the American economy, improve the financial and banking system, generate job creation, and improve the prosperity of the American people.

(iii) coordinate with the legislative branch to propose and enact legislation to slow and reverse the recession and put the United States back on a pathway to recovery.

Section 4. Administration of the Economic Recovery Task Force (ERTFC)

(a) All executive departments and agencies and all entities within the Executive Office of the President shall cooperate with the Economic Recovery Task Force Commission and provide such information and assistance as requested by the ERTFC, to the extent permitted by law.
(b) The Department of the Treasury shall provide funding and administrative support for the ERTC to the extent permitted by law and within existing appropriations.
(c) Members of the ERTFC shall serve without compensation but may receive transportation expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by law for persons serving intermittently in the Government (5 U.S.C. 5701-5707), consistent with the availability of funds.

This order will take effect immediately.

Signed,

Mr. President, we're doing just fine, thank you. It's so good to see you too. And congratulations! You must be just over the moon right now, I can't even imagine. It's a shame to lose you in the senate, I won't deny. How's the family finding the transition? I guess the kids are too young to even appreciate that dad's the leader of the free world now, huh?

"We're doing good! The kids still control the TV remote. As long as they keep their hands off the football, I think we'll all be okay. ::laughs:: How are things back home in Alabama?"

"Only for champagne, Cindy." Chandler laughs, outstretching a hand to the Alabama Senator. "And congratulations for being elected minority leader!" He turns to Joseph. "Mr. President, congratulations to you as well. I'm sure Catherine won't let it get to your head."

JOSEPH MURPHY: "Chandler, it's great to see you my friend! And no need to worry, Catherine still wears the pants in the Murphy residence ::laughs::" 

Just now, Viss said:

Cindy Anne gulps as the President and Vice President walk up right after her comment about the bar.

 

”Well hello! Congrats to y’all. Catherine, Richard has been working on his Viennese Waltz. You better watch out or he’ll have you out there with him!”

The Murphys laugh

CATHERINE MURPHY: "Well, I'll have to see how good he is first. Does he take lessons?"

JOSEPH MURPHY: "Catherine did ballet in college. What are you drinking tonight, Cindy? Nothing imported, I hope?" 

(President Joseph Murphy and First Lady Catherine Murphy arrive with Vice President Weaver and his wife. President Murphy strides over to Senators Vissering and Goodman)

JOSEPH MURPHY: "Ari, Cindy! It's great to see you both here! What cigar are you smoking tonight, Ari? Tabak Especial?"
