What Makes George Washington A Good President

Old President New Election The presidential seat is of higher power and holds the United States in his or her hands. The president is the one who is in charge and tries to maintain the stableness of peace though-out the world. The president not only handles national affairs, he or she also maintains international stability for the benefit of our country. For this reason and more, people see the president as their leader and the one that wants what best for their country.

George Washington would be the one I vote for because he wanted honesty, diligence, and purity. As a young boy, George Washington

Washington declined his third term and he did not want any finical or political reward for his services, and said, “I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain (what I consider the most enviable of all titles) the character of an honest man.” This statement is quoting that Washington wanted to stay true to his values.
