The Ideal President

504 Words2 Pages

I feel the ideal candidate for President should have strong military knowledge and at least some military experience. I believe he or she should be fair, strong and posses compassion. I support missile defense systems and homeland defense forces incase of an intrusion, but I believe there should be more training, the kind of training that the military have never encountered before. The president elect must be able to delegate power to train and equip troops properly and put them under proper rotations. Keeping the American people free and safe is of great importance. In my opinion, war should always be the last option, but I understand that sometimes there is no choice. The president elect must be able to deal with problems this country inherited under President Bush. There are still many issues in the United States that President Bush hasn?t given any attention to. The new president must be able to show the judgment to lead in times of crisis. He should be able to talk, negotiate and compromise whenever a conflict arises. The American economy is weak and the presi...

    Richard Neustadt identifies three specific traits a person must possess in order to succeed as president of the United States of America. He stated that “the presidency is not a place for amateurs” and candidates must meet specific traits if they are to succeed at commanding one of the world’s largest and strongest nations. The three criteria he believed that a man must possess in order to succeed as president include the power to persuade, a professional reputation, and a public prestige. Herbert Hoover, John F.

  • The American Presidency: Evolution in Time

    2445 Words  | 5 Pages

    The American Presidency is undoubtedly one of the most widely recognized popular icons throughout the world. Although to most foreigners or those who have never resided in the United States or know little of its history, the executive branch of government may seem to be as dull and unyielding as the rest of the American politics, for those few rare individuals who have taken the time to examine and closely scrutinize this office of the American political system and its recent history, quite the opposite will be said. Unlike Congressional or local elections where typically a number of individuals of the same ideological background must be elected in order for a particular issue to be addressed by the government, when it comes to the presidency, one person, although checked by various other divisions of the same government, has the power and responsibility to literally, as history has proven, change the world. The American people, "like all people everywhere, want to have our (political) cake and eat it too. We want a lot of leadership, but we are notoriously lousy followers" (Genovese). In other words the expectations the public has of the executive office are ever-changing since we demand that our leaders keep up with the evolving world around us and them. Throughout the past seventy eventful years alone, the American people's views, perceptions and demands of the Executive Office of American government have evolved simultaneously with the political and social events of that same time period.

    As president is it very important that you be able to connect with a group of people and be compassionate about something or someone other than yourself. Trump is known to be racist and is especially against immigration from other countries. When you are arrogant and overlook global issues and certain groups of people, problems start to arise and this could be a potential harm if we elect Trump because of his constant need to bash other religions and ethnicities. Foreign relations would be completely ruined because of his open disrespect and uncaring opinions for any country other than the United States. He has not been shy to express his opinions about immigration, gender, and culture. Donald has also been known for his questionable, crude and derogatory comments and insults against woman, minorities and the lower class that led some to ask if this is really the man that should be the head of the office for the next four
