In my opinion, the following steps should be taken in order to become the president of the United States:
Make sure that a presidential candidate is not younger than 35 years. It is also important that the candidate was born in the United States. Before running for president, a candidate must live in the United States for not less than 14 years.
The next step - you need to apply for registration to become an official candidate for president. In order to participate in the election race, you need to collect at least $ 5,000 for the election campaign. The Federal Election Commission will monitor the expenditures and revenues of the potential presidential candidate. You must submit this information to the Federal Election Commission on a regular basis.
An important step on the way to the election of the US president is meeting with voters. All of the 50 states are different from each other. It is necessary to meet with potential voters in every state and to identify their questions and problems. The purpose of the candidate at a meeting with voters is to collect as many votes and signatures as possible.
You must create a campaign headquarters, which will coordinate the activities of the campaign. It will be useful also to create your own website, on which the candidate will present his election program, the goals and ways to achieve them. The presidential candidate program should look sincerely and convincingly. Objectives should be clearly spelled out: this may be tax cuts or increased incomes, job creation, improvement in health care, education reform, and others.
One of the most important elements of a successful electoral campaign is the awareness and the current political situation in the country. It is necessary to have a complete understanding of the last trends and political developments. A candidate for president must demonstrate competence during a debate with his opponents and meetings with voters. It is necessary to clearly position the membership of a party, decide on their political views (liberal, conservative, and so on).
Now let's talk about some of the visual and the personal qualities that should have a presidential candidate to get the support of the people.
As we know, people like respectable, solid and self-confident politicians. The best option is a classic dress suit and a neat shirt and tie. A presidential candidate must radiate confidence and positive emotions often smile voters that they feel its importance. This presidential candidate should not be in doubt. It must be clear and convincing, so the presidential candidate must follow the facial expressions and gestures. Words must be synchronized with the movements of the body, emphasizing openness to talking with different groups. Finally, a great impact on the success of the campaign have friends. It will be useful for a candidate in president to get a lot of influential friends from different states.
Summing up, these steps can help a candidate win the race for the presidency. As a final point, I would like to note that the Americans usually like to those candidates who seem congenial to them. Therefore, a presidential candidate must demonstrate that he is the same person as a man of the people.
Remember that the real president should be from the people and for the people.
