What do we expect or demand in a President?

[bresue]

I think back to what I was taught in elementary...George Washington, our 1st president who was elected for 2 terms unanimously. What did the founders intend for this role to take in our newly formed country?

Unite varied factions within the country? Guide our present goals into a streamlined agenda? Represent our country as a foreign ambassador? Be honest and morally upright. Be commander in chief. Work with Congress to pass legislation for the benefit of our nation?

Are we expecting too much in one person to achieve all of our current objectives? Or are we not demanding enough? How can one person in the role as President accomplish changing laws without Congress's approval? We hear on campaigning trails all of these laws or bills they will get passed...but without a bipartisan approach, nothing the President has promised will be achieved. Has anyone seen Dump meeting with both parties for a peaceful resolution for any legislation? Is Dump even able to unite within his own party?

Just my thoughts...

1. i expect a president to tell us which large swaths of people are un-american, to lie relentlessly,

to commit electoral crimes,
to abuse the powers of office to line the pockets of himself and his family,
to forge private business deals with our enemies,
to renege on commitments to our allies,
to further alienate those allies,
to corrupt our institutions,
to work with businesses to kill us all slowly, and
to get us to accept all this by making us constantly worry that he might kill us all faster.
