Could you be the next president of the USA?  Why or why not?

Technically, yes.\n\nPractically, not a snowball's chance in hell.\n\nI actually believe in the limitations of government as established in the Constitution, and in the individual liberties and freedoms those limitations give us. That means no welfare, no social security, no medi-scam, no farm welfare, no corporate welfare, no bridges to nowhere, no self-aggrandizing monuments to KKK Byrd's ego with our $$ in West Virginia, no affirmative action, no government employee unions, no Depts of Education, Labor, HHS, Agriculture, etc, no nothing not authorized by that document. And I'd push to impeach every elected official or judge that acted, voted, or ruled contrary to the principles of the Constitution.\n\nAdd in my checkered past, my belief that marijuana should be legalized, etc, and I would not stand a chance. Other than myself, who'd vote for me?\n\nI'd piss off every constituency out there, almost all of them wanting to leech off others' paychecks.\n\nI'd give them freedom and liberty, but they are more interested in hand-outs and controlling others' lives.

Though I would love to see Hillary become president, I think you're right.  There are too many people right now that are not ready for a woman in office.  I think the only chance she could have to win the presidency would be if she chose Bill as her vice president.  I think that as vice president she could show her ability to govern this country and then perhaps in the future America would better accept her as commander in chief.  I personally like Wesley Clark, and think he and Hillary could achieve great things together.

Great question! I would most definitely prefer a president that stands up for us and takes care of threats. It is sad how many unthankful people live in America. We are very spoiled!

I usually vote in every election, but will not in this up coming one.  I moved recently, and haven't ahd the opportunity hange my address with the voting board.  \n\nI think the next president will be democrat.  it's all abut the ebb and flow in this country.

Anyone from any state that meets the qualifications can run for President. Of course, the more political experience you have, the better your chances of being considered a real candidate.

I would like to see George W. Bush's brother Jeb Bush become the next President of the United States of America, that way Americans who complain about the current President Bush can deal with another four years of another President Bush.

Only natural born citizens can be President.\nI agree with this because someone born here has more reason to defend the US then someone born elsewhere

Oh yea.. But you have to be president of the USA to get by with it. Once you get 56,000,000 people to back you can  kill on a massive scale for up to eight years.

You know, before George W. Bush became the President of the US, I wouldn't have believed you. Now that I know that is possible, I know that ANYTHING is possible. So yes, I would believe you.

Yes i would, he's a powerful, intelligent speaker. To have an audience with him would be an honor in my eyes. Saw him when i was 14 in my home town St. Louis while he was president. Actually got to speak to him and shake his hand.

qualifications maybe??\n\nIt's not that anyone should want a man or a woman as a president, we want the best candidate to be president, ... period.

ABSOLUTLY NOT.  One's loyalty to the USA should never be weighed against the native nation of the president.  Last thing we need is either a manchurian candidate, or a president who is second guessed because of their nationality.

Yes there will be a woman president someday - of course it will happen. Whoever is qualified (male or female) will become elected, and at this point there isn't anyone standing out. While I know a woman will become President, I sure hope the first isn't Hillary Clinton - Condi would be a better choice.

Not sure I understand your question.  If you are asking whether or not anyone can be president, then the answer is yes.  All you have to do is look at our previous president who was born into the lower-middle class and worked his way to the highest position in the world. \n\nBut if you are asking whether or not the president is above the law, then that answer is: only during war time.  Historically, a president had more power during war time (he is the commander and chief mind you).  But I don't believe that the founding fathers quite understood that we would be foolish enough to declare war on things that we cannot beat.  Just as there was no way to win the war on poverty or drugs, there is no way to win the war on terrorism. It is a war with no clear definition, no clear goal and no end.  Thus, the president’s powers during a war time would never end.  This is a serious problem because it side-steps our checks and balances.  \n\nOur current president is doing serious damage to our country be attempting to go around laws meant to govern everyone.  In time, the courts will tell him he is wrong and we will have precedent for the next time a president tries to become more powerful then the founding fathers intended.

Yes he can, but chances are that he won't even try.  Once you've lost the presidential primary, your chances of ever winning the office are very slim.

Could happen but Im not sure if the American public is ready as of yet, but you never know, she could pull it off.  Id say she has he greatest chance out of all of becoming the first Woman President.
