How To Be President
Hey can I be President of The United States?
Sure, you have to run for the job and when election day comes,
You have to get more votes than anyone else who runs.
So I could run?
If you were born in the states,
And over 35, thats all it takes!
That's all it takes?!
Well you need a reputation,
Or no one will vote for you to run the nation.
See people want a leader who is smart, strong and steady,
And is known for doing good things for the country already.
That's why almost every president we've had so far
Was first a congressman, a governor, or a military star.
So if you want the job start leading now bub.
Be a leader of you friends or your school or you club.
And learn to dress sharp and not look like a slob,
Because people who look gruby hardly ever get the job!
So I gotta learn a lot, and I gotta lead well,
And I gotta help the country, and I gotta not smell.
And someday when I finally run,
If I get the most votes, I will be the one!
Congratulations, now you're president.
Thank you.
Election Connection
Every four years in the USA,
We pick ourself a predident - it works this way.
A whole bunch of people who think they are smartest,
Try to get support from political parties.
All of these choices, the first thing we do,
Is narrow the contenders all down to a few.
With primaries and caucasses in ever state,
Each party ends up with one candidate.
One democrat versus one republican,
with a few independent folks thrown in.
On Tuesday in November that's when it rolls,
American voters head out to the polls.
For every US citizen who is eighteen or older,
Can vote for whomever they want to vote for.
Then the polls close and we stay up late,
Counting the votes up state by state.
Oh the winner is the winner 'till the next time then,
Four years later we do it all again.
Election, election,
Presidential election.
That's the deal.
Democracy
Democracy in the USA. Democracy.
What does it mean anyway.
Let's say some friends are getting together to play sports.
If they vote on what game to play, that's democracy.
And when a country is a democracy,
The people get to vote who their leader will be.
Cause it's democracy in the USA. Democracy.
Ok. You got monarchies which are ruled by kings,
And theocracy is where a church runs things.
And then you got military, dictatorship,
Where whoever runs the army holds all the chips.
But in the USA, we are living large.
Cause when you vote it means your in charge.
And no one else can tell you how to vote. Ok.
Or tell you what to think or what to read or what to say.
Cause it's democracy,
Run by you and me.
We get what we want cause it's democracy,
And that's good!
