If you could pick a U.S. president from the past to preside in current time, Who would you pick?

I would pick Ronald Reagan. He was a great guy.

Hillary Clinton would be my choice, she is intelligent and strong, she is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have one of the best advisers in the world with her husband, the last legally elected president and the last one that has been successful moving the nation forward.

George Washington.  Got to love those wooden teeth.  \n\n\nCome on what kind of question is this.  The only half way decent not old president was JFK
28781
George W. Bush, same as it is now.

Oliver North would be a nice pick.  He's got military and foreign affairs experience, and is a natural leader who would be able to keep America on track.

Not in this time and era. I would like just one person to be for the people that was elected by the people. Great leadership is non existent in today's America. All I have left to do is pick by party, and pick the lesser of the two evils. Good question.

George W. Bush is the current President (Head of State) of the United States.  Like nearly all industrial world leaders, he got his position via an election.\n\nPS: I'm not sure how this turned into a political diatribe, but that's common of early 21st century America.

You could also be president of the United States.  Our current president has a felony background I believe.  He used(??) to be a cocaine addict.  Some say he still is.

Regan.  He was one of the best Presidents we've ever had.
658765
no, when it was all said and done he will still go down in history as one of our GREATEST PRESIDENTS. i wish presidents could have more than 2 terms because i would have voted for him again!

steven colbert for president, things would get done and jon steward could be his vice president\nthe country would see big changes in the government quickly.....but they would all be big secrets until the last moment

I would choose either Franklin Roosevelt or John Kennedy to try to deal with today's problems, particularly Iraq. Both were very bright. Both were wide ranging and imaginative in the consideration of problems, without some limitations we see today. Both knew human behavior very well, of their own advisers as well as of foreign powers and enemies. Both were not afraid of doing something drastic if necessary and were articulate enough to explain why to the American people. Both loved their country and were devoted to it at any cost to themselves. Both knew how to inspire and lead the American people and the world.\n\nYou say they had some peccadillo's? Don't we all.

Bill Clinton...mmmm...sure.  He's sexy in a sort of global consciousness way...\n\nDefinitely JFK, except for the fact that he's now a rotting corpse.  But I think I could get past that.\n\nGeorge Washington and Abe Lincoln.  Powerful!\n\nBut the number one hottie dead prez...Buchanan!

The current president (lame duck) would finish his term and the Vice president would assume the presidency. Since this has never happened before, I'm sure someone would try to get a new election in progress.

Bush. Bush has not done the bets to deal with some issues, but he is still protecting the U.S. and for freedom and equal rights. Hitler is prejudice and a dictator. I want to be able to have freedom.
