What qualities make a good president?
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
The intention of this essay is not to clarify either the issues or the candidates’ stand on the issues. This is, rather (as much as is possible) a non-partisan essay designed specifically to formulate a set of credentials for whomever is to serve our country as president. It is then up to the reader, using this set of credentials or any other, to determine which candidate best measures up. The underlying intention, or ulterior motive, is to show how voting for a president requires a broad array of judgments, and using a single issue or even a small set of issues can easily betray one in making the best choice.
