School
project is all aboutpresidents
! When I grow up, I wanna be president of the United States! Why? Well, when you're president, you get to live in the White House! And you get your own helicopter and airplane! You can fly anywhere you want. I would fly to Disney World, like, everyday! Andpresidents
can say "no" to other people's new laws. That's called a veto! I'd say "N-o" to all the boring laws, and replace them with awesome ones! Like the lawabout having to take math tests, I would veto that Bedtime is 8:30, young lady! Bedtime? Veto! New law: no bedtime! And

get to have their faces oncool
stuff, like money, and mountains, and on Halloween masks! So, who are some of America'spresidents
from history? Let's start with the very first president: George Washington. He helped start the USA with his friends over 200 years ago.

presidents
read a lot of books and know a lot of stuff! The 42nd president, Bill Clinton, knows a LOT. One time a guy gave him a quiz about My Little Pony, and Bill Clinton got all the questions right!
