Daily Question: evaluate President

Describe the main factors that matter to YOU when you evaluate a presidency as "good" or "bad"

There are many factors that I think are important when I evaluate a presidency.

• One is leadership. How well he was able to rally people behind him. And how well he lead our country. Also the ability to control or persuade members of Congress. The more leadership skills a president has, the more likely Congress will pass his policies. And his popularity, the ability to persuade people to do as he wishes.
• Second is the way he dealt with crisis's. Depending on how he managed economic crisis and international crisis is also a determining factor on weather he is good or bad.
•  Third is their accomplishments. What  they have accomplished during their presidency is big. If they got a lot done and really helped our country then they are probably a good president.
• Fourth is how they represent the U.S. and the people. If the U.S and its people are not represented well then that would be a big negative to the presidency.

Those are a few main factors I believe are important in evaluating a presidency. Other important factors but not as important as listed above are: How money was spent, foreign standings, what the economy was like during the presidency, the relationships with other countries and how he takes the citizens opinions.
