Qualities Of A Good President

Improved Essays
A president by definition is an individual that is the elected head of a republican state. All countries in this modern era have presidents, prime ministers, or leaders. Unfortunately, not all of them are fit or qualified for acting as a representative of their given republic. Through differentiation, we can determine what a “good” president is qualified. To be a good president one must have intuitive decisiveness and be extremely disciplined because of the wide range of issues they have to encounter along with the moral compass that they need to establish and represent.

    All successful presidents had a reputation for being honest. We can't run a country, with a ruler that is dishonest and lies to his people.

    “The modern presidency is something of a media invention, partly out of convenience – we need a protagonist, a character through which to tell the story of American politics” (Achenbach). There is no argument that the President hold enormous influence on the nation and the world.

But when it comes to policy making, the President influence is much more limited. For example, although the President can institute executive orders, these orders can be overturned by congressional hearing, judicial review, or the next president in office.…
