f the people agree on certain issues that the president focuses on. The candidate should have knowledge on what the public wants and their opinions on the world, but should also keep their views as close to their own as possible. Along with focusing on our own country’s problems he/she must also focus on what is going on around the world and how it will or may affect our own country. The candidate must be able to convince the public that he/she can resolve our country’s problems and improve it in any way possible.Even though character may not be the most important quality the citizens of this country have made electing a president into a popularity contest. What really should count though is the candidate’s true character rather than how the public perceives him/her. So how would you know a candidate’s true character without actually knowing them personally? I feel the best judgement of character comes from knowledge of their past. Some good things to aide you with this knowledge would be how the candidate did in school, what they did with their lives, how they get along with family members and friends, and their willingness to help others. Character to me is the qualities that make up a person, good and bad. If a person inspires to become president his/her character should consist of many good qualities. A leader should be honest, caring but also strict, loyal, he/she must set a good example for people to follow, ambition and desire to improve our country in any way possible, and he/she must be moral and ethical. Those are just a few characteristics needed in a person if they are to make a good president. For example, our current president Clinton, in my opinion has been a good one. He has done many things to improve our country and as president for eight years he’s gotten a lot done. However as a result of some bad character choices he is probably disliked by most of the public and will be looked back at...
