Almost every child has heard the phrase, "You can grow up to be president someday." And part of that rings true, but is everyone really cut out to be president? What qualifies someone to be a good president? Sadly, not everyone can be president, and a good lot of people should never be put in any type of leadership role. A president should be compassionate, intellectual, and conviction. A man who I believe has all of these qualities is president Theodore Roosevelt, throw in animal magnetism, a sharp wit, and a sparkling personality and you have one of the best presidents our country has ever seen.…

The presidency of the United States is more or less considered the premier position of power in the world today. Back in the days when the United States was just a new, developing nation however, it was much more than that. Being president of the United States in those days meant you were the overseer of the very activities that would shape the past and future of one of the now most powerful world powers known to man. One such overseer, the third president of our United States, was none other than Thomas Jefferson. Though there were two previous presidents before him, President Jefferson was the first to have the privilege of life in the newly constructed…
Presidency is a strong idea in America. It elects our highest executive leader, the president. A good strong, experienced president is a viable resource. Just to be clear, a president should be experienced in someway . They should first occupied a spot in government such as a governor or senator. They will have a voice and understanding in politics, know about foreign policies and politics, and they will know their way around the government. Think about, who would want a presidential candidate without any political experience or would they? As history has shown, freshness has ruled. Even today, presidential candidate Donald Trump is winning. He has no political experience, however he has considered by New York Republicans to be governor in October 2013, but he never ran. This is the most controversial question in politics, maybe. Should amateurs be allowed in the oval office?…
What I think makes a good president is people who know politics. The president should also have quite a bit of money. They should also be ready for what is thrown at them. The president that I think was better than Andrew Jackson was John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy. During his presidency, he had attempted to overthrow…
In my opinion, I believe that Presidents should be held at a higher standard. This doesn’t mean that they are better than any of us, but they have a higher responsibility, and should be treated as above. For me, a President is like royalty, like a King. Now does that mean that they are perfect, and don’t make mistakes? Absolutely not. Presidents, either better or worse, have political knowledge and are the ones guiding us to survive in this world.…
Its not to be a good leader, you have to have a good character. Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings, he worked hard to earn his law degree; this shows that he has a good character and that he is willing to work hard to get where he wants to be. He is also kind and compassionate, and honest man. All of these things makes his character stand out among all the rest of the presidents. Warren Harding on the other hand doesn’t posses many good presidential traits. He lied and cheated while he was in the office, and let his cabinet take advantage. He was also a pushover, he couldn’t say no, which also led to many people take advantage of him. These characteristics don’t make for a good…
Leadership is a rare and important characteristic in a president. Being a president is all about leadership, leadership of the country, the nation, and the people want someone who is going to do a good job at that, not someone who is going to send the country into an economic depression. Congress is important because having the ability to control and persuade members Congress is extremely beneficial when it comes down to voting on bills and laws and certain things that Congress would put their foot down and say no to if the president did not have the ability to persuade…
By being President, I have had to learn a lot about leadership and responsibility, along with other important things. I have discovered how to work with others more efficiently through working with the Vice President, Secretary, and other members. Also, I have learned how to delegate tasks to different committees in order for our organization to stay more organized and accomplish more. My experience with National Honor Society has helped me learn all of the leadership skills which I will be able to use in other leadership positions I have in the…

Well a president needs to have a basic understanding of what is right from what is wrong. A president must be able to take responsibility for their actions and the consequences that may follow. The United States of America has high expectations for presidential candidates, each candidate should have existential qualities in order to fulfil their role as the president.…
When a citizen votes for a candidate he makes, in effect, a prediction. He chooses from among the contenders the one he thinks would be the best president. The presidency is a peculiar office. In fact, the founding fathers left it extraordinarily loose in definition, partly because they trusted George Washington to invent a…
The qualifications to be President of the United States are you have to be 35 years old, 14 years a resident of the United States, and you must be a natural born citizen. The reason why you must be 35 years old to be President is because typically, the older you are, the smarter you. As people age and mature, they tend to know more than a child or young person would know. Older people normally have more life experience. This would be important to being President because the President is going to face difficult tasks that he has to overcome and he will need experience in accomplishing these tasks. Being a resident of the U.S. for 14 years immediately prior to becoming president is is an important qualification to being the President because…
Life is like breaking your arm. 33 years ago I broke my arm falling out a window, stubbornly trying to see the stars and make a wish. The discomfort I felt in the weeks after was nothing like my seven year old body had felt before. It was immense and disturbed, and while the recovery was long, the fall from the window was worth the star. My Presidency will be a lot like breaking an arm and there are three parts that pertain to us. First is the reach, the yearning for greatness that we all have. The want for something greater than us, whether it’s a new job or the car you've been saving up for. The second part would be the fall. The point in time when you underestimate how far you really are out the window. The fall will be painful, you will…
