Americans are happy that they do not h ave a k ing or queen and they say that anyone can become president. But you need a lot of money to tell people about yourself and your ideas, so it is easier to become president if you come from a rich family: The second and sixth presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, were father and son, and in modern times the Bush family has had two presidents. From 1989 to 1993 George Bush was president, and in 2001 his son George W. Bush became president too. At the same time Jeb Bush, the brother of George W. Bush, was head of the government of Florida. Some other families have also nearly had two presidents. President Kennedy's brother Robert hoped to become president but he was killed in 1968. and many people think that Hillary Clinton will follow her husband Bill. If she does, she will be the first woman president. A president must also be able to speak well to crowds of people. Ronald Reagan, the fortieth president, could do this because he used to be an actor. He became head of the government of California in 1967, and was president from 1981 to 1989. Another actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, also became head of the government of California in 2003 and some people believe that film stars will become successful politicians more often in future.
