Respect Your President

"Respect Your President" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell". Respect your president, Respect your president. He's the leader of your country- And that's quite an accomplishment! Bonus activity: Explain to children that, should they ever meet the president, they should respectfully address him as Mr. President. Teach children some of the important duties our president has-commanding the armed forces, urging Congress to pass laws and being a role model for the people. Explain that it takes months (even years) of campaigning followed with a vote by the electoral college to get elected to the presidency. Note: Although this bonus activity refers to the Presidency of the United States of America, it can be easily adapted for other countries. What responsibilities does your president have?

Respect him always, but only support him when he has takes actions that have the nation's best interests at heart. I think that you can respect the authority of the office, while not supporting the person holding that office!
