Post 15 Presidency with the ideals of Socrates & Confucius

The president of the United States serves as the most well-known job in America. The president is the leader of a whole county and he or she speaks for all of America. The president's roles are to work with Congress to make laws, to act as the Commander in Chief, enforce laws and treaties, prepare national budget, and to appoint federal officials.
Confucius' ideas were more involved on the people as a whole rather than oneself. For example, the government needs to be ran with the people first in mind. Therefore, the president should make decisions thinking about how it will affect Americans.
According to Socrates, his ethics and values were much more personal. He taught that a person's happiness is chosen by themselves. He also believed that in order to change/move another person, one must work on themselves before. This can compare to the president's work experience in local governments before they move to the national government. Theses officials must work on bettering themselves with education and experience before they can lead a nation.
