The Pew Research Center has asked Americans to weigh the traits they want to see in presidents and presidential candidates.
Should a candidate have more or less experience working in Washington?
Should a president believe in God, and how much would it matter?
The results show what Americans want in a leader – and what they do not want.
The BBC’s David Botti takes a look at the numbers.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

I have always thought being President would be great. It would be great to be the leader of a great country like America and how much could I learn from being around Laws and Congress and Legislators and just listening to the
American People, Businessmen, Scholars, and everyone. I have been around lesser politicians in local government and was asked to lie and be dishonest and falsify complaints and such… in short I was being coerced to be a dishonest person and I am not sure if I'd ever be involved with politics or not. So I guess I don't go in for the dishonest stuff and corruption. But I believe, probably, that Presidents rise above others and can lead a country. As to religion, believe in God when this is necessary but obviously don't be a preacher. Know how to work with others would probably help. I guess to be honest, I'd have to have the job – or be close to the job – to know what I would need. But I am sure that being President would be Great… even in the worst of times.

It should not cost much of anything to run for President. Our enemy made it that way so the people are monetarily defenseless in a fabricated economy that they created and control. and Those that play into the Great Deception for their piece of their soul for fame or fortune, or to cover the thin blue line (Blue Collar Crimes type) and the thick white one in the Court, Justice Department(White Collar Crime Type) and the Red line of the elite.(Red Collar Crime Type). They use every means necessary to drive you further away from the Kingdom of the Free People and The King for us to Stand as a Martyr, in our Victory for Freedom from Tyrannical, Oppressive, Lawless, Self Governing, Unaccountable, Evil Thinking, Merciless Monarchies or Forms of Government.
When the Masses can come together and realize you have to know thine enemy. Just Like those that Swore an OATH to the Republic of the Free People are falling Victim to the enemy we swore to protect ourselves against. They are sleeping and need to wake up. The laws are there. they are written. they just need to be enforced. and hold a special election and re-elect people, of the people, by the people, for the people.and then let Justice take out the trash. and we can ALL live in peace and Harmony in Tranquility, with Freedom and Liberty. and Justice to protect those individual rights of each person and not just grouped in stereo-types so that we can be taught truth and not the common core of what they want you to believe. Would you rather live in reality or fantasy land of lies and Deceit?
I am going to try but I can not do it alone. I pray that, If by some snowballs chance I achieve the most important position of not only my life, my kids life and my kids, kids lives and so on. but for every souls living bodies that lives and breathes just freedom and Liberty. That I may have the Faith to Withstand Temptation, and have the strength to stand, With just a sling and a stone, along side my Brothers and Sisters for the right, that we are endowed by our Creator to be Free.
That there is a better way and system of civilization that works and the people prosper. but your enemy wants your corporate worth your slave to be you the person. The rest they get through taxation/fee scams, insurance scams, kangaroo courts systems for monetary gain through intimidation and a whole different language that the people have to hire an attorney at unregulated or inflated fees to conduct the peoples business without recourse. and God help you if you attempt to defend yourself. even if you appeal, whom are you appealing to? it's like asking the devil if one of his demons committed a crime. you get laughed at. and that is in Direct conflict with the cause of the Free People. and Those that SWORE an oath to the People have a DUTY TO ACT and enforce those LAWS that protect those individual Freedoms and the Justice to those seditious and treasonous to the Cause of the Free People. Hence the Declaration of Independence. and the Laws that our Elite that seems to be above law and man to be enforced. and establish new guards for the security of our future.
sorry it's so long, I get so worked up over something so important. Just like Hitlers Democracy We are getting ready to be the Jews in that scenario,we are following the path of History and only one proven way to stop it. But through common core, deceit, intimidation,or influence have turned people from the Truth of the Kingdom of the Free People. and Why the Martyr King is Important in dealing with the Kingdoms of man in the World. Why do you think we went to being the Worlds 911 (Trade Towers Ring a Bell) to becoming an enemy to our allies and becoming what we stood in Defense from.
Remember Jesus was a Man. Our King of the Free People. Sent by the God that gives Liberty for ones own Volition, to not be told what you can and can not do or say. You just have to answer for your own judgment. He want you to live forever in a paradise on earth. we choose death and sin. With our King we get Freedom from oppressive, self governing and unaccountable lawless monarchies or forms of government, Justice so no one is able to take those rights away without JUST cause. and Tranquility to live in brotherly love in peace. The only science needed is faith, and the Desire to be free. How else is it that something so simple a child can understand, yet baffles the intellectual community?

I'm fairly certain that Obama lied about being a Christian in order to get into politics. He even said in his own book if he wanted to get into Chicago politics he had to start attending a church. He's probably an atheist.

The US public has 3/4 woken up to the facts that their votes don't change anything. The government approval rating is now down to 10%, that means 90% of US citizens really think that their government is inherently evil no matter what party of the two (2) they have to "chose" from. The US is guns and oil, now even the US public know that. Eleven (11) of the "elected" US presidents so far have been chosen against the public vote, so where is the democracy? Add to that the mass suppression of voting by many sly means and the general "money is speech" system to cover the real methods used to put whatever puppet in the office the corporations want…… The US needs to break up and have wars with itself quicker, we've all got sick of seeing yankee flags hiding millions slaughtered to add numbers to a bank sheet.

Personally I think any president or prime minister should be a atheist or a agnostic. and in my idealist view of how the world should work I believe politicians should be million/billion aires and if they have a fancy education that should only be their only credential e.g. they worked at some institute or they have working experience & knowledge in some kind of field.

Being a good liar is an important trait for that job. Without having this skill you won't make it through all the hoops that you would have to jump through. Also, having a lot of money is important because without loads of money you can not get elected as President. Who is going to vote for someone they havn't heard off.
