My First Days in the White House is a 1935 book written by Huey Long, with full-page illustrations by The New Yorker cartoonist Cleanthe Carr.
[2] Approaching the 1936 presidential elections, Louisiana Senator Huey Long details a political fantasy in which he is president of the United States.
Through imaginary conversations Long outlines his policies, including the "Share Our Wealth" plan, a balanced budget, an income cap of 500,000 dollars per year, and a program to eliminate dust storms.
He also proposes to "reorganize and modernize" the American air forces, presumably as either a more autonomous component of the Army, or a separate branch altogether (later carried out in the National Security Act of 1947).
Long fantasizes about his inauguration as President of the United States, detailing that he would be sworn in on the Bible his father had read to him and his brothers and sisters.
