DevinEach candidate has his or her own characteristics, but here are a few generalizations. Most have come from a northern European background. A few have come from poor families, like Lincoln and Truman. Most, however, have come from middle class or upper middle class. With the exception of President Obama, most presidents have been white.

They must be willing to compromise when necessary and respect the feelings and ideas of members of the opposition party and be able to communicate effectively with the heads of foreign governments.

Have read and understood the Declaration of Independence. Willing to adherer to the written text of the US Constitution and abide by the oath of office. Must be a real leader of the people and understand leadership, that leadership is about action. Leadership is about Inclusion, understanding valuable different perspectives, listening 75% of the time and acting on it the other 25%. Leadership happens based on the power of your ideas to convince others, Leadership happens based what you do, not what you say. Leadership is being humble at times and strong when needed.

Who has the Vice President of the US for its head?
The Senate has the Vice-President of the U.S. for its head. He is not usually in attendance, so the President Pro-Tempore presides in his place.
What group of agencies work most closely with the president?
No agencies work with the president. Members of his cabinet are usually the head of various departments.
Could a president be called emperor if they were president of an empire?
If the person is the president of a corporation which is called an industrial empire, he would probably not like to be called an emperor. If the person is a dictator who made himself emperor as well as president, I suppose you could call him an emperor. Emperor is usually a title applied to king-like figures. President usually indicates an elected leader. The two titles are contradictory.
Do the US citizens elect the justices of the Supreme Court?
No.Article 2 Section 2 of the US Constitution provides that Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President with the Advice and Consent of the Senate:[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.US Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the current President, presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee for investigation, then accepted or rejected by the US Senate.If a nominee receives a simple majority (51) of the votes, then he or she is commissioned as a Supreme Court Justice. This is a lifetime appointment, and is served until such time as the Justice retires, resigns, dies or is impeached by the House of Representative and tried by the Senate.In some states, like North Carolina, voters elect state supreme court justices to a fixed term of office; in other states, justices are appointed by the state Governor or another legislative body.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
