Most heads of state of western democracies do not have the authority to enact such measures, much less in so short a deadline. And their political opponents will simply drag their feet on any approval process and let you eliminate a rival. Most of the billionaires live in countries without a dictator (quite yet, anyway) who could comply, even if they wanted to.
You have Superman’s powers. This is a fantasy world :p
Plus they don’t know your powers will only last 48 hours. You could make a nice speech at the end about how you believe in democracy and don’t want to have to get involved again, so you trust they will do a better job going forward.
Ultimately, the main point would be to get the public excited about a solution to the “you can’t tax the rich too much because they’ll just move to another country” issue. If every world leader has publicly announced their intention to join this agreement and then withdraws, one would hope for a public outcry, at least in democratic countries. It could be political suicide not to implement it.
For the non-democratic countries (I’m looking at you, Saudi Arabia), perhaps add a clause that says you will raise sanctions against countries that don’t join. I don’t know, I’d have to find some lawyers specialised in these things :D
