project is all about

presidents

! 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! And

presidents

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 law

about having to take math tests, I would veto that Bedtime is 8:30, young lady! Bedtime? Veto! New law: no bedtime! And

presidents

get to have their faces on

cool

stuff, like money, and mountains, and on Halloween masks! So, who are some of America's

presidents

from history? Let's start with the very first president: George Washington. He helped start the USA with his friends over 200 years ago. He wore a wig and had wooden teeth, and he was not nice to his cherry tree. ...but at least

he told the truth about it! Sorry... Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States! He was the tallest president ever, and not just because he wore such a big hat! Here's an awesome fact about Abe Lincoln: he was a wrestler! Maybe that's how he won the election! I wonder if he had a

cool

wrestling nickname, like The Rock! The Lincolnator! Awesome fact number 2: Lincoln Logs were named after him because he was born in a log cabin! He was really smart, and he kept the country

together, which I really appreciate. Another president who had a toy named after him was Teddy Roosevelt, our 26th president! Hm, the Roosevelt bear?... Oh wait, the Teddy Bear! That's kind of

! I'd like a bear named after me, too. He didn't actually have any bears in the White House. But Calvin

idge had a pet hippopotamus! And Herbert Hoover had pet alligators! Some

presidents

had

hobbies. Teddy Roosevelt liked to walk around on stilts. Maybe he wanted to be taller than

Abe Lincoln... The 44th president, Barack Obama, collects comic books. His favorites are Conan the Barbarian and Spiderman! Ronald Reagan, the 40th president, was an actor. He was in a movie with a monkey! Thomas Jefferson, president number 3, invented the swivel chair! AND built a macaroni machine! Maybe he liked to spin around while eating mac and cheese. Sometimes,

presidents

get in trouble, One time, the 18th president, Ulysses S. Grant, got a ticket for speeding... on his horse! Willian

Taft was the 27th president. Sometimes he got stuck in the bathtub... I hope he kept some toys in there! It's also super important that

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! I wonder who's HIS favorite pony. My favorite pony is Rainbow Dash! And my favorite president might be kid president! He's into hugs, dance breaks,

and just being awesome! So basically,

presidents

are
