Pick a president

On november 8, the USA could get its first female president ever with Hillary Clinton! I'm crossing my fingers that she will win the elections, because as many others, I have not much faith in her opponent from the Republican party, Donald Trump. Some even take it that far as to say that he will cause the country's economy to collaps! 
George Washington, the very first president, gave the capital its name.

Well, they have had controversial presidents before. Like George W. Bush, who read from a children's book while his country was under attack. Really, he was holding a reading session for a class when he got the news about the Twin towers and he just kept on reading! Bill Clinton, husband of you know who, had a love affair and after months of denying it, he finally admitted to it and apologized to the nation in public. Nixon was involved in the Watergate Scandal and had to resign. Obama was accused of not having the Amerian nationality. And there are probably many more skeletons in the closet!
John F Kennedy mintues before he was shot. First lady Jackie survived.

I think it's exciting to follow the elections, but I'm aware that it's a tough campaign in which the candidates dig up dirt on each other. Who do you think/hope is going to become the 45th president? Write about a president in week 13! Comment the ongoing elections or browse through this list of the 44 previous presidents and see what surprising facts you can ome up with.
