"Let's say you're running for president, and you win by a mudslide. What would you change about your country and why? Would you make new laws? Paint the White House blue? Tell all!"
1. "Mudslides" are moving rivers of rock, debris, and soil, (or a tasty mixed drink). "Landslide" is a synonym of "mudslide", and is the term generally used for an overwhelming majority in an election. It used to mean greater than 75%, but spin doctors now use it for anyone they happen to like. 2. The Executive Branch of government, led by the President, is only one of three branches needed to make major changes in the country. 3. The Executive Branch is neither responsible for nor able to make laws of any kind. 4. While I know of no law preventing the repainting of the White House, it would be a silly endeavor that would cause a great deal of ill will with the people and would most likely lead to cause for impeachment.
