One of my first things to do as president would be going to rehab instead of jail for convicted drug users. I believe in this because we don't need to be spending so much money on prisoners every year. They get a lot of food and a few too many guards. Have you been in a prison? Those things would be hard to escape if they didn't have any guards in the first place. Also, I feel it would help more people than those who go to prison. And while it won't cure everybody it will hopefully help more out than prisons are now. (Drug dealers would still go to prison).
Guns, I believe that guns should be harder to get than they now are. Not just any idiot with some money should be able to walk into a place that sells guns, and say, "Well don't mind if I do". If you really think you deserve a gun, and you think that you have the brain power, responsibility, and know how to use the thing, than you most likely will be able to get a gun under my presidency. I will also immediately revoke(vocab word, I should get some extra credit) the Travel Ban Donald Trump has put into place. I do not agree with anything about it. It takes a lot out of people to move to America, lots of studying for the test, lots of money, and you most likely have to learn a new language. My other thing was, I was born in America and have lived here my whole life, the same is true for my parents and their parents and their parents, and it has been awesome, I think everybody should be able to get even just a chance at the american dream. So those are the three things I would do if I were president, but I'm not. :(

I am proud that you have taken the time to read and learn about politics and to look at the issues on both sides and make your own informed decisions. Your Grandfather didn't just "talk the talk" as many do. He was involved in politics, volunteered, studied the issues, made his own decisions, and kept his humor even when elections didn't go his way.
