Well, even for atheists, it would be clearly understood that being President, and being "God" (having the powers that are attributed to God) are two very different scenarios. An atheist could still answer the question what he would do if he was somebody with the kind of power that is attributed to that mysterious invisible superbeing called God. But as President, there isn't all that much one could do of true lasting significance because even Presidents can't just go out there and order something done. It has to go through the houses of government, so that kind of shoots that one out of the saddle.
Now, as a God, I wouldn't have to worry about any of that because I would be omnipotent.... all- powerful.... all - knowing... all-controlling, and I could snap my fingers, or wave my hand, or do whatever it is that a God does and POOFFF, it's done. Being myself, and thinking what I think, I wouldn't need a week to accomplish what would be my choice of just one thing to do. As "God" I could do it in an instant. I would make all the crazy, fanatical, lunatic, power-hungry people in the world - leaders of countries, powerful religious leaders in all the denomiations... completely forget whatever it was made them just hate the heck out of "the other guys". Then fill the gap in their minds with the great idea of what a truly incredible world it might be if they reached out and and suggested that everybody come together and dedicate themselves to making this the best doggone place to live in peace that anybody had ever imagined it could be.

If I were President for a week (and I know it wouldn't happen in one week, but since we are being extremely hypothetical, in that there is NO way I would be President, and there is NO god)....
Monday= REINFORCE the point that school and religion should be COMPLETELY separate.
Tuesday= Allow gay marriages in ALL states, and state that all state legislatures and people who stand in the way will be punished SEVERELY by law...the U.S. law....
Wednesday= REINFORCE THE COMPLETE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE...spell it out for all those who don't understand that "god's" law has no place in the United States law. Order that any government buildings and organizations that disobey the law will be completely abolished immediately.
Thursday= Start pulling people out of Iraq and clean up the mess that my predecessor (the idiot) has made
Friday= Balance the budget and make sure to give back the money to the schools and local police/fire agencies that was taken from them
Saturday= Talk to the FCC and tell them to LIGHTEN UP!!! Janet's boobie wasn't a big deal!!! It's a free country...let's act like it again.
Sunday= Sleep in, take Air Force One to Camp David (just to see what all the hub-bub is about since our President practically LIVES there), get drunk, have a HUGE party, and then go back home.

Wow. Tough question.
If I were God for a week, I'd get rid of the provision of kissing my ring as a requirement for forgiveness. I'd clean up pollution and give humanity broad hints about how to get power without ruining the planet. I'd cure the insanity in the dangerous fanatics of all religions and politics. I'd heal everyone all at once. I'd create a new "Word" that isn't so horribly misanthropic. I'd encourage humanity to grow up beyond the need for superstition. I'd return extinct animals to the world. And I wouldn't end the world at all. I'd cancel God's "wrath" account. I'd restore conciences to conservatives, serial criminals, and gang members around the world.

Fly like superman.
God-Seriously? Hmm... Prove my existence, then make all the religions agree on some important points like equality, honesty, love and openmindedness. Shut down all the extremists, nazi's and folks of that ilk. Make it impossible to create any weapons of mass distruction ever again. Give the human race far greater awareness and deeper insight and control over their emotional and mental lives freeing many from depressions and other issues. Eliminate pollution and make all the clean alternatives work far far better than ones relying on polluting processes. Invent faster than light travel. Extend my week as God until I got everything else solved. Realise that I shouldn't be attempting to wrap the world in some kind of cotton wool, unless I want to create dependent wussies.

That's easy.......If I were God for even a second I'd instill Faith, Hope, and Charity in everyone especially the atheists, then I would get ride of fast food restaurants.

Let everyone know I was real (give people solid proof) because intelligent thinking people need more to believe than just a book that says I exist.

If I were a president, my first decision would be to sign my resignation. Let people with ability take these positions.

I think my head would explode. I'm not fit for that kind of power. Either God or Presidency. I have a terrible temper and no patience.
