Chapter 12

1. What makes a great President (not which Presidents have been great)...what qualities are essential to greatness? Why?
I think what mainly makes a great president is their being able to relate to the common person.  Presidents who act better than their country never do any good.

2. Other than Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, which two Presidents have been the greatest and why? 
My favorite Presidents were John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton.  Kennedy because he was a handsome devil and Clinton because he actually got us out of debt.

3. Research a President that you're previously unfamiliar with - list at least three things you learned.  Was this President effective?  Why or why not?
I did a random google search and came up with Franklin Pierce who was nominated as the candidate for the Democratic Party in 1852, Winfield Scott, and won with 254 out of 296 electoral votes.
