A Great American President " T. Jeferson "

             Obtaining the Presidency of the United States is an arduous challenge itself, but living up to the expectations and gaining the respect of the public is even more demanding. Where many has succeeded in their administration, many have fell into the grueling abyss of embarrassment and failure. At times, the presidency has even ruined the lives of many individuals such as Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon. However, although many could not establish themselves as exceptional leaders during their term, Thomas Jefferson managed to succeed. Standing at six feet, two inches, Jefferson looked down upon failure and concentrated on his political quest to establish the United States of America as a dominant nation among the world. He was destined to follow in the footsteps of another great American president, George Washington. Winning his first election through the House of Representative"s vote, Thomas Jefferson proved to encompass all the necessary qualities of an illustrious American President. Ranking at number five during the 1962 Historians Poll (there was only 31 presidents at that time), no one can argue that he definitely "preserved, defended, and protected the constitution of the United States." Even though this maybe the fact, how did Jefferson fulfill a task where many have failed or barely accomplished? Well, he managed to express certain aspects in a president that gave his impressiveness, especially in the categories of experience, charisma, and foreign affairs.

             Knowing that the presidency is not a simple task, it seems unreasonable that someone young and inexperienced would dare enter the office.

His first important role in government was when he was elected to the House of Burgesses in 1769, and served until 1775.
