Question

Which criteria are most important to consider in selecting a president?

Answer 1

The first thing I consider is party affiliation. I will not vote for anyone that is not a member of the GOP. The second thing I consider is religion and how it affects their stance on social issues, such as g*y marriage and abortion. I believe these are the biggest things to consider when selection a president.

Answer 2

At the present moment in time the most important criteria in choosing a president should be how they are going to fix the mess that our current president has created. How can we responsibly bring home our friends and family members that are dying by the thousands in an uncalled for war home should be a priority. Also environmental issues should be at the top of the list. We should be finding ways not just to make fuel efficient cars but cars that don't need to rely on oil in the first place. Being environmentally aware should not just be a current trend it should be a way that we live always. Social issues should not play priority on any list. How does the g*y couple that chooses to get married realistically change your life in any way? How can you tell if the girl sitting next to you on the bus has ever had an abortion unless she tells you? It doesn't and you can't. Religion should play no real role in choosing a president.  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" We are a nation made of immigrants from many backgrounds with different moral and belief structures and as such the decisions the government makes should not infringe on the personal and private lives of its citizens.

Answer 3

Firstly I think we should learn a bit about the past of the person. How he behaves in the past reflects what he can do for the country.

The person should be honest, keeping the promises he made to the nation and a hardworker.

He should not make promises just to gain election.

He should have a good family backgroud and respect the person around him. Should avoid corruption when he rule the country and try to help the poor.

Answer 4
