If I were president, I would make it that every single homeless person in America would get monthly checkups from doctors, a home to live in, food to eat everyday, and a loving family to care for them. I would get everyone in America to clean up the streets. Also, I would have all of the broken down houses in America fixed and repaired.

Asia, age 9 of Brooklyn, NY

Seria, age 11 of Memphis, TN
If I were president the first thing I would do is make homes for the poor on the street. The next thing I would do is make the city more clean and stop people from taking drugs. The last thing I would do is make sure all schools have money to get books.

Alex, age 15 of Hermitage, TN
If I were president, I would lower taxes because presidents are using taxes to support themselves. I would make my own money and support myself. I feel that presidents are wrong because that's stealing form U. S. people. Presidents are here to protect us, but how can we rely on them but they are stealing from us?

Meghan, age 10 of Mound, MN
If I was President, the first thing I would do would be ban smoking. Not only does it kill the people who smoke. it also will evntually kill the people around it.

Celebrate! I would be happy that I won the election.

Thomas, age 10 of Maple Shade, NJ
If I were the president, (which I want to be) I would try to make our nation better and safer and I would care for the people. First, I would make a law saying that people need to stop smoking. The people who make the cigarettes will get angry, so I will pay them some money when I can. I will also do other things that I didn't even think about. I hope I become president.

Domonique, age 13 of TN
If I was president I would stop gang members. I would stop pollution and make sure everyone is safe.

Chelsea, age 11 of Pickett, WI
If I was president, I would make a law that certifies friendship for everyone and everywhere. White people don't have to hate black people because of their skin color. They could turn out to be the best friends ever.
