will the types of presidents change?

Question

Every president of the United States has been over 40 years of age;
male, white, and Protestant (except JFK, who was Catholic). What, in
your opinion, is the likelihood of this changing? How will it change,
and when?

Answer 1

Uhhh... Everybody is talking about getting people to vote for the Pres., but you are forgetting one HUGE thing!

We do not Elect a President... The Electoral College does, and guess what? The electoral college is APPOINTED!

You don't have a choice who the president is, morons.

WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

Answer 2

In France, the favorite in next year's presidential election is a woman. Her name is Segolene Royal. She belongs to the French socialist party. So you might say, so what it's only France? France is a small country compared to the USA. True. Yet look at it this way. France is the second most powerful modern nuclear country in the world, if you take into consideration that Russian's nuclear arsenal is outdated. And China's arsenal is unsophisticated, France carries a lot of nuclear muscle. Okay, now in this country, you have Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. That's the third most powerful political position in Washington D.C. In 2008, NY Senator Hillary Clinton might make a run for the White House. Her chances don't appear so good simply because she's riding on her husband's coattails. Yet through clever public relations this she's there because of her husband could be manipulated to seem as if it would be a good thing to have her husband back in the white house. To answer, your question, nevertheless, I would say yes. We are right now living in a hyper dangerous world with the Middle East about to burst wide open in a rage of fireball. We need negoitators. We need politicians who are will to compromise on the world stage. If not, World War III will explode in the Middle East with millions dead.

Answer 3

I hope it changes in 2008 with president Condoleezza Rice!

I have no problem with a female or a black president (obviously). However, the cool thing is that I have never known Dr. Rice to make an issue of either her gender or her race. She is simply the most qualified for the job!

Conversely, Mr. Obama seems to revel in the whole "I'm a black man!" thing and Mrs. Clinton will pretty much say anything that she thinks will win her votes.

Answer 4

JFK was also under age of 40 I believe when he became president. Yes, the "norm" of presidents will change due to the changing of culture(assimilation) and just the change of mind set in the growing population. People are coming to accept others for more differences than just their looks.

Answer 5

Many people complain about certain presidents, but a number of them don't even vote, realizing, their vote could make a difference. I don't care to much about the elections, because no other president, besides Bill Clinton caught my attention. And he's not even considered white to some people, lol, he's everyone's hero. Bill is White/Black/Asian/Hispanic/Mid Eastern! Least that's what a lot of people I know say! Maybe one day, a black, hispanic, asian, or mid eastern will win! The religion shouldn't matter, everyone has their own beliefs regardless to what a president has to say about it.

Answer 6

I think it's definitely changing. The candidates in the future will need to be good looking, good at speaking in sound bites on TV and be so bland as to be totally non-risk takers so the opposition can't dig up anything on them from their youth or pre-political days.

People that are well-educated, thoughtful and poor public speakers won't have a chance and just forget running if you're not good looking.

Answer 7

He can substitute the positive homes of the panorama alongside the Gaza strip with some B-52 carpet bombing runs and stay away from dropping Israeli squaddies the worry of attending to flow door to door to locate Hammas's missiles.

Answer 8

Emoneymon is incorrect (as you probably know). You only have to be 35.

I believe the demographic will change only if the current crop of young voters starts participating in the process. Otherwise, it's going to be the "good old boys" for quite some time.

Answer 9

Vote for Condoleeza Rice.

Answer 10

Not until the under 30 crowd starts voting in masses will anything happen.
