Who would you have as president?

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

I would go with....Rarity

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

Applejack is the most down-to-earth, level-headed one of the choices. Sure she may be stubborn at times but she won't fly off the handle like the others. Thus Applejack is the best president pony.

 

President = AJ

VP = Rainbow Dash

Secy of State = Twilight

Secy of Treasury = Rarity

Director of Homeland Security = Big Macintosh

Head of the EPA = Fluttershy

Party Ambassador = Pinkie

Pinkie pie of course. Everyday would be a party <3

[Slendermane 477]

Princess Celestia.

 

But of the mane 6, I would say Twilight. She is definitely the rational leader of the group.

[Kenny 232]

Twilight as president and Applejack as VP.

Well, let's break it down...

• Applejack: I'm sorry, but do we really need another president with a southern accent? One that would probably say 'nuculer' and end up in a war with the Buffalo over an apple orchard?
• Fluttershy: As much as I like her, we really don't need a president who's afraid of her own shadow. That's what we have France for.
• Pinkie Pie: Admittedly a genius (see Pencil's thread), her bubbly nature and constant partying would probably be a bit too much for most Americans to handle and could also risk offending foreign dignitaries who disapprove of 'raucus American partying.' She could possibly make a good Vice President. If Biden has taught us anything, it's that the role of the VP is to have fun and let the President clean up any mess that comes as a result.
• Twilight Sparkle: Overall the best choice I believe. She is level-headed and intelligent, well educated and kind. She is very goal-oriented and would have a definite plan for helping the country recover. No beating around the bush with pointless political rhetoric. She would make a checklist of steps to fix the country, then set about doing them. Of course, woa to us if she was ever late to a meeting. She could degenerate and start a nuclear war with Russia. But as long as she succeeds in her agenda I'm sure we'd have nothing to worry about.
• Rarity: The obvious economic choice, she would likely discover a deposit of gems somewhere and use them to boost the US economy. But she probably wouldn't be popular enough to stay in office, even if she fixes things, being who she is. She is the 1%.
• Rainbow Dash: She's hot-headed and eager for action. While these are admirable traits in an athlete, they're not so good in a political leader. She's the pony that flew into a dark cave and kicked a full grown dragon in the face. I would fear for US foreign policy with her in charge. We'd likely see our armies deployed around the world and start toppling bully dictators left and right. While this may be an admirable goal, it hasn't gone over so well for us in the past, and probably won't in the future. It's best to give that one a rest.
• Spike: The birthers would never let him win. Dragons aren't citizens.

Win. End topic.

Ha, great analysis. Actually seems like you got each one right

Well, I like studying characters. I'm not nearly as good at psycho-analyzing them as Pencils, but it is still a lot of fun. And it's necessary to be able to write a decent fanfic, to know your characters well.

At least until she tries running the entire country by herself 24/7, refusing all assistance, aid, advice, or council, while slowly driving herself into a sleep deprived bout of madness.

She won't be alone though. Rainbow Dash is stubborn enough herself to knock AJ back to earth lol.

No matter what anypony says, PINKIE PIE FOR PRESIDENT!

[BizzarePony 199]

Applejack, in my opinion, is the only one not to have a mental breakdown at any point (Aside from Fluttershy, but hey, she freaks out at the sight of her own shadow). She is honest, hardworking, and a very logical and straightforward thinker. No matter the fact that she's but a simple farmer, some of the best presidents have come from equally humble origins.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

Pinkie Pie's Communist Party has never rubbed off. I see her and I know she's the decendant of Carl Marx himself

[Swoop 2,278]

Pfft, the mane six wouldn't be up to the task.

 

Derpy for president please.

 

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

Hmmmm, I don't know enough about derpy to choose her

[Petey 34]

Spike for god king of the universe, the others dont even have hands, let alone fire. We already know he's magical, plus the other dragons in the show have wings, he'll likely eventually grow a pair of giant dragon wings then proceed to be bigger, more magical, and a better flyer than any of the other candidates.

Let's face it, every other decision will let the terrorists win.

Rarity and Fluttershy are my favourites but Twilight Sparkle should be the obvious choice for president. She's good at studying, organization, and magic, all good traits for a president.

Hello, how would you run a nation with no hands?!

Why do you think I said magic would be a good trait?

[Lupus 127]

I was tied between Rarity and Applejack but went with Rarity. After Lesson Zero, I wouldn't trust Twilight with the nuclear button!
