What would you do if you were president? What qualities make a good president? See what these kids said.

Vasawn, age 9
I\'d make it so there\'d be no knives and no guns. Also, all of the police would get free stuff.

A good president is smart, honest and strong.

Diana, age 7
I\'d try to save the world by working together with all of the other countries.

The president should be smart and know how to work together with other people around the world.

Kate, age 8
I don\'t want to be president. There\'s too much paperwork.

A president needs to know how to boss people around. My sister would make a good president.

Taylor, age 10
I would stop the war in Iraq. It\'s depressing. But then probably, the Iraqis would still be really mad at us. I would try to talk to them.

The president should be a woman. Women have different opinions from men. President Bush says, Let\'s have a war. A woman president would say, Let\'s talk it over.

Anna, age 9
If I were president I\'d be nicer to animals.

A president should be kind and generous. He or she should work hard to make peace.

Ben, age 12
I would make boring books illegal, and cancel boring TV shows.

A good president should be honest and have integrity.

Mac, age 10
There are families that have kids that have something wrong with them and have no money. I would make a company that would help them.

I think a woman should be president.

Dumecia, age 6
I would sweep the streets to help keep the cities clean, and I would put computers and water fountains in all classrooms.

The president should be a nice person and a smart person.

Luca, age 12
I would make a law that everyone had to be a vegetarian. If it is a crime to kill a person, it should be a crime to kill an animal.

A president should care more about taking care of nature than taking away natural resources.

Diarra, age 10
I\'d help the poor and raise money for the cities and towns. I also would help kids stay in school and make a law that kids can\'t drop out.

I think the president should be a good person. And also a smart and helpful person.

Hannah, age 9
I\'d make a big, big fine on polluting, like thousands of dollars. And I\'d make sure that they had healthy and yummy food in the school cafeterias. And I\'d make reading programs for all people who have trouble reading.

A president should be polite; being rude is bad. He should have good thoughts about stuff, like simple ways to solve problems. He should actually do the stuff he said he would do after the election.
