What We Need in a President

   I believe what we need in a president is someone who isn't just looking for power over people, but honestly wants to help the country.  We need someone who will step down from office if he/she is incompetent.  A president who has strong morals, and is a good leader should be our leader.  Someone with those traits would try their hardest to never hurt the country.
   The president needs to be strong, not weak-willed.  A president represents our country.  Do we want to be thought of as weak?  He/she needs to be honest as well.  If you hide things from the public then how are we to know whether you're a good president.  In fact, people distrust a leader who hides things from them.
   One of the most important things we need in a president (and all leaders) is for them to keep their personal lives and their work lives separate.  I don't need to hear gossip about the leader of my country.  It's his business what he does with his life, not mine.
   I'm not really sure if we'll ever find a president that amazing, although some have come very close.  I guess I can only hope that some day a man (or woman) that has these traits will be elected into office.
