Official Explanation
Since the writer talks of a condition contrary to fact (he is not President), he should use the subjunctive form “I were,” as in (E). “I was,” as in (A) and (C), would be acceptable in informal speech but not in Standard Written English.
(B) is too elliptical. (C) and (D) slightly change the meaning: (C) makes the “halt” the President’s very first action; (D) implies he has a realistic chance of being President.
The correct answer is (E).
