A president has to be friendly and in good partnership with congress so the nation can work as a team to try and get work done to improve us. Along with these leadership characteristic, to get my vote, a president has to act like a leader visually. This includes talking in a clear voice, looking like a leader and makes a first impression like he is ready to lead the country and can face any problems that we may encounter.
The next thing that I want in a president is that he is open minded and creative. I wouldn't like to get a president who leads like a dictator and doesn’t get input from his Vice President or Cabinet. A president has to know how to negotiate with his co-workers. If he puts all their idea’s together, then results will be better. Since the powers of the President are limited, we won’t have to worry about any of

What I found was that everyone in the United States doesn’t really vote for the president they want directly.…
