What Makes A Great President??????

   

You have probably heard the old saying that "anybody can grow up to be President." But, not everybody is cut out to be President. It takes a special kind of person, someone tough, smart, and driven just to run for the job. It takes still more talent and character to hold up under the pressures of life in the White House.  A day in the life of a president involves many tasks and responsibilities.  Some are routine, while others are immensely challenging.  All require the skills of an effective leader.  According to the article, "What Makes A Great President?", People disagree about what character traits are most important in a President.

Character is important when electing a president for most people would like to have a president that is smart enough to solve some of the nation’s problems. Though voters find it more important to vote for a candidate based on the solutions for problems they come up with, the character of a candidate is just as important. Three qualities that I believe every president should have is caring, strength, and overall integrity. D.T.
