Leadership Qualities of the President
2. The Ability to create tiger teams. A tiger team is made up of some of the country's brightest people but have to be able to work as a team side by side, this is important because these teams solve major problems such as energy, jobs, and social issues.
3. Communicate a clear and inspiring vision because if people don't know what the president stands for people will lose faith in him and the same with his administration.
4. Trust between the government and its people is vital because if people don't trust the government to make the right decision then it creates riots and uprisings.
5. Level 5 leader, someone who can do everything and puts the country before all else, including himself.
Current Major Issue
One of the biggest problems in the U.S. is terrorism. With the recent attacks on Paris and in California, citizens are most worried about protection and security. The thought behind these most recent attacks is ISIS but the problem is they are not a country they are a network and are everywhere, not in one area. (http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2016/01/03/what-will-be-the-biggest-issues-in-2016 ) The first thing I would do as president is make treaties with other countries such as France, England, and even Russia to come together to help one another seek out ISIS and eliminate the threat to all of our countries, but to do this I would need approval from the senate (⅔ vote). Also if we wanted to we could declare war with ISIS with approval from congress but I do not believe that is the right path to go down. Another key issue goes hand in hand with terrorism is immigration, by letting in so many people it could also allow terrorists into the country and I think we need to limit immigration somewhat.
