Major Issues
To help me face these two issues head on are the people affected by it. I would travel to city to city having anyone voice their concern and how would they deal with this issue and this includes people loving the second amendment. I need to hear everyone's voice. Then afterwards I would talk to my trusted cabinet with what would they do and how we should tackle this problem. We as the leaders of the free world can't continue letting this be problem and have our people in fear to go outside and have to be shot or be abused by the police.
2. To help me with gun control and police brutality I would go in front of congress (and make sure its being broadcast all around the nation) and tell them I have made an executive order to start enforcing programs in the police to stop them from having a bias with people. If someone wants to become a police officer they will need to go through this program. As for gun control I'm going to make sure there are longer background checks and anyone with past or present mental illness will not be eligible to buy a gun. I know some people will be angry but I will use conflict resolution to help calm them and down see if we could come to compromise before any of it becomes law. After all that I will start making a bill and present to congress for a final review to make sure it says in law for the next up coming generations.
Traits of being the President
2. Conflict Resolution: Now just from making important decisions, you have the power to control the military and when it is important to go to war. Now fighting isn't always the answer but it's up to you to decide when it is.
3. Vision: Now the people elected you because of your visions for the future of the nation as a whole. You can't let them down, now you don't need to make everyone happy but for the majority. With that being said make sure you have a clear vision for the nation and can lead it to prosperity.
4. Trust: Now it is important to the tell truth to the people that elected you. Lying is never good and keeping good relationship is. The people will admire you more if you are open and honest when you make a mistake. It can be embarrassing but in the long run it will help you stay popular with the common men and women of the United States.
5. Personalities: The last important thing is that you can't be dull and very boring, you have some kind of personality and with that you can get a lot of people on your side. That will later help you in the long run of being the president and have them be on your side.
