Top Ten People Who Should or Should Have Become President of the United States

The Top Ten
1 Robert F. Kennedy Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy, commonly known by his initials RFK, was an American politician from Massachusetts.

This is a correct example used on this list. Because most of the list contains celebrities, which some aren't interested in politics. RFK would definitely have become president. If he was, then he would have become the first president with a presidential brother.

The country would have bee different had we had someone with his magnificent heart and intelligence.

Robert F. Kennedy. The Brother of John F. Kennedy.

what if the two were presidents. well John F. was president

2 Bob Ross Robert Norman Ross (October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host.

Among the leading intellectuals of his time, Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, a drafter and signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, and the first United States... read more

He would have been the first or second president but he was too old and sick to join. He died in 1790, a year after George Washington became the 1st president.

Sadly, he was too old and unhealthy to serve. Would've died in office anyway.

4 Zack de la Rocha Zacharias Manuel "Zack" de la Rocha (born January 12, 1970) is an American musician, poet, rapper, and activist best known as the vocalist and lyricist of rap metal band Rage Against the Machine from 1991–2000, and after the band's reunion in 2007 until their last show in 2011.

6 Neil Armstrong Neil Alden Armstrong was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer who was the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor.

That on is appropriate since he is interested in politics after NASA. Would have been president after doing something proud for the country... the man on the moon.

Genius-level intelligence, fearless, tireless worker, team player, goal-oriented, and an inspiration to everyone on Earth. Would have been the perfect choice.

Anyone who thinks he would not have been a great president should never, ever be allowed to vote.

MLK wasn't interested in politics. Also, the bad part about him is that he's anti-gay. If he was elected president in the late 1960s, there will be a lot of plans on assassinating him than Obama had.

He stood up for black people. Totally should have been president! rip
