How Strong a President?

Do you want a dwarf or a giant as a president? If the former, then the 1988 American presidential election appears to fill the bill, for it offers a choice between candidates who are distinguished by their ordinariness. No one would expect any of the current Republican or Democratic alternatives to stand tall in a pantheon of world leaders. And even if a towering figure were elected president, the limitations imposed on him by the Constitution would soon cut him down to size.
