1) I feel that qualities that make a great president are loyalty, respect, and a level head with a touch of stubbornness. I feel that any president should stay loyal to the people. The promises they make during elections are usually what sales the people into voting for them. Respect, the president should have respect for the people and the people serving under him. Presidents tend to forget why they are in the position they are in. Respect the people and respect for themselves. They should never recant on their values and beliefs. Level head with a touch of stubbornness. Be able to sit down with a level head to solve issues but stubborn enough to not let people push or tell them what to do.

2) Franklin D. Roosevelt (also known as FDR) took office in 1933 and served four terms in office as president. Roosevelt created the New Deal to combat the effects of depression. He created various job programs, including the Conservation Corps, the Works Progress Administration, and the Tennessee Valley Authority, all employed and trained workers. FDR expanded the governments role in regulating the economy.
Ronald Reagan (1981-89) was known as the "Great Communicator). He was able to give engaging, persuasive, and comforting speeches. He was able to reach out and comfort the people during times of heartache. Reagan's foreign policy was an important factor in the end of Communism and the Cold War.

3) William McKinley (1897-1901) was the 25th president of the United States. He lead the United States into modern position as a global economic and military power. The United States quickly and decisively won the Spanish-American War (1898) under McKinley. McKinley promoted business interests. He supported the protection of American business and industry by taxing imported goods to keep their prices high. There's debate on how effective McKinley was as president. He intended to address several key issues during his second term, but was cut short with his assassination in 1901.
