Synopsis

2106 Selecting the President, The Most Important Decision You will Ever Make This book is an urgent wake up call. The election of 2016 will be one of the most important in American history. Our choice of President will affect the future of the United States and the world for the rest of the 21st century. Every four years Americans elect a new Chief Executive. The person chosen is not just President of the United States. The position is of global leader, global decision maker and global visionary. The President can determine the fate of the human race. The person selected must fulfill a number of complex and interconnected functions: Chief of State: The Ceremonial Head of the US. Chief Executive: The holder of the executive power. Chief Administrator: The leader of the Executive branch of the Federal Government Chief Diplomat: The main architect of US Foreign Policy and the nation’s Chief Spokesperson to other countries. Commander in Chief: In charge of the nation’s armed forces. Chief Legislator: The main author of public policy. Chief of Party: The leader of his or her political party. It is not enough to select someone with qualities that fit our national needs when the stakes are planetary. The future of the world depends on an America that is strong, just and fair. This is embodied in our history, traditions and institutions and in the People and nations look to America to provide a model of what we all should be. They imitate our culture, examine and study our laws and emulate our ideas and ideals. We are a lighthouse in the darkness for millions who live beyond our shores. It is a responsibility. We should embrace the task even if we are not without flaws. There is no one else on earth to offer the proper vision and leadership for our globe but the United States of America. We have no choice. If we fail, the forces of intolerance and tyranny will prevail. Our survival is at stake. It is also at risk for those who look to us for leadership across the globe. We are not perfect but should strive for perfection. Our leaders are not saints but should seek to be models of integrity. They should be expected to do the right thing even if it is not the right time. We will never solve all our problems but should work to overcome them in good faith and honesty. With proper leadership we can try to resolve the great issues that affect our lives, and the earth we inhabit, with fairness, liberty, justice and reason. The American Presidency symbolizes these principles. This book is not an endorsement of one candidate over another. Instead, it is about the qualities we should demand that the President of the United States have to be the leader of a world that endeavors to provide opportunities for all in an atmosphere of freedom. No one person will have them all. Even so, we should try to select someone who comes as close to the ideal without the illusion that saints sit in the Oval Office. They do not. At the same time, we cannot tolerate chronic sinners controlling the apparatus of the most powerful country on the planet. We should realize that we do not elect a President but elect a government. The Chief Executive of America appoints thousands who administer the apparatus of the largest bureaucracy on earth. They should reflect the same leadership qualities of those who appointed them to roles of public trust. The process of voicing the qualities we need should be from “the bottom up” and not “the top down.” Today we have the means to articulate what we feel are the traits that our top leader should have. Social media provides a new platform for all classes to communicate debate, convey and vent feelings from the bottom so that the top understands what we need at this time in our history. We should encourage discussion in all forms of media until it is clear that we will select and not settle for anyone but the best and brightest to be President of the United States.
