What defines a president as "good" or "bad"? For example, FDR and JFK are commonly viewed by society as "good" presidents. However, FDR's New Deal greatly expanded the power of the national government, which could be viewed as alarming or concerning to some. Also, JFK was known for his extramarital affairs, so did he really have integrity? Respond to his prompt in 3-4 complete sentences.

A president is decided to be good or bad depending on what he does or doesn't accomplish during their presidency. Things such as debt, keeping promises, and knowing when to step down will affect how they are viewed as a president.

What defines a "good" or "bad" president isn't on how they like to spend their personal time, like spending time with family. It depends greatly on if they can get the country out of any financial issues they may have put us in or other problems like that. A bad president would put us into a problem without a way to get us out.

A president can be considered good or bad based on many things. Such as actually doing what they say they will. Another is how they handle sudden situations, such as an unexpected terrorist threat. A few traits that would make a good president is if they are responsible, make decisions based on logic rather than emotion, and are determined.

A president could be considered good or bad it just depends on how hard they worked when they were president. A good president would be someone who finishes what they wanted to accomplish by the time they leave. A bad president is someone who sits on their butt and doesn't really accomplish much

I think that a good president is someone that works hard to accomplish what needs to be done. A bad president could be someone that doesn't try and do what they say they will and just do things so they can get money and do whatever they want.
