Is it easy to become president of a country in Central America?

In Honduras, like in most countries, being wealthy greatly increases presidential aspirations. With this in mind the people will not vote for an unknown individual. Usually presidents are not the "common man". They are usually wealthy businessmen and have support of the country's leaders in one of the two main political parties, much like this country. In order to be elected as president one must side with either the liberal or conservative political party, since the population rarely votes for independents or non-traditional parties. A candidate has to be born in honduras, but his background may be foreign. Such is the case of ex-president Maduro. His family is from panama. Other presidents have been of spanish and turkish backgrounds.

Central America is not a continent.  It is part of North America.

i feel you can live happily wherever you want..but i feel the problem in latin american countries is the U.S. goverment is slapping you to keep your economics down, which makes it impossible to fix anything,,,so my suggestion to "fix your country" as you say...vote for political figures in your country that is for the people, improving, living and economics.\ndon't allow big business to come into your country and pay poor wages.\npeople come to the states to get money for there families, and i feel there is nothing wrong with this..who is to say who can live here and who can't, we all came from somewhere else also.\nbut to sum it up..start with your own goverment, they have to make the first step in making the changes. its inhuman to pay someone 2.00 an hour and think it is enough to support a family...people need to wake up  and look at the big picture...the very people who are telling latin people not to come into the states are the very people making the problem , or the general population is just uneducated as to what is going on.

yes the victory of Daniel Ortega is sending signals to the world especially the USA that there is no death for leftist ideology. Marxism sans dictatorship is attracting more people in Latin America. Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil already have socialist leaders. this time Ortega, the former Marxist Sandinista revolutionary leader reformed to some extent and made truce with the church. really his victory is blow to the imperialist USA which previously supported the contra guerrillas to over throw Ortega from power. but i feel this time Ortega will compromise with the IMF and does not outburst like Chavez. the reason is obvious. Nicaragua is second poorest country but where as Venezuela is rich with Pietro dollars.even the trend in the USA also changed and people voted for centre left party , dems.

Yes. The process is exactly the same once he is already in the country. Just get a license from your county clerk's office and have the ceremony.

Many nation do not have presidents and they do alright.  It used to bee kings all over the place and dictators as well.  Not much would be different than it is now.  Probably nothing.

Wow i am flattered you asked a question about my culture. For those of you who said 4th grade level shame on you. My entire family has had college work done. Every Nicaraguan i know has at least completed high school. Our schools in Nicaragua are MUCH harder than the schools in America. I would say we are really good at educating ourselves and adapting to the work force. English is a mandatory class to take in Nicaragua so the majority of us speak fluent English.

If it is in a corporation, there are special laws to grant you whistleblower status, and you can move into this role under a degree of legal protection from retribution.\n\nIf it is in a government, then it can be very difficult depending on the nature of the government.  Dictatorships are notorious for systemic corruption, and there is little that can be done without coup or significant intervention (or perhaps populist uprising, although you'd be risking your life).  In a democracy, the corruption is of a softer sort, and you may be able to counter-act it via a public interest campaign, or story presented to the news media.\n\nNow if the graft and corruption is within your own heart... that's a real toughie.  It requires a degree of personal strength and conviction to ideals which extend beyond your person.  I think all human beings have the capacity for such strength and compassion, but it requires a willingness to make the hard choices both for yourself and your community.

You can become the president if you are 35 yrs old and have been a US citizen for at least 14 yrs. And you know what else princess, we need a female president to wip this country into order. Just make sure that you go to college and learn about political science, law, and economics, just make sure you learn the political system inside and out okay.:)\n\nYOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGHTENS YOU!!!

It is said it is relatively easy to reach the top but difficult to maintain it.Having acheived the leadership position, USA  always have the constant fear that someother country will overtake it and believes  in the policy of "nipping it in the bud".It will always try to interfere in the development of the countries that it thinks is going to be a threat to its leadership.\n\nAs his term will end in a couple of years he doen't have the time to continue his wartime policies. if his successor also thinks on the same line then there is definitely going to be a war .But definitely not in the next 3 yrs

That's interesting. I think that they can. I think that brazil is one of those "quiet" countries that will eventually emerge as the next world leader. And I believe that they will do it without power or might but with their wisdom that they obtain from watching the rest of the world screw up in form or another.

America's founding was quite a bit more complicated than that, and starting a country today would also be much more complicated.\n\nAll the land in the world today is owned by one country or another except for Antarctica. There are international treaties for Antarctica too however that prevent one country or another from claiming it as territory for its own. Elsewhere in the world, to start your own country, you would have to rally a sizeable group of supporters, get funding, and secede from the nation that your particular part of the land is in. Then you would need to be powerful enough to repulse the attacks of the host nation, form your own national identity and remain organized long enough to maintain national unity. If these things can be accomplished and you did this long enough to be recognized by a majority of the other countries in the world, then you too can start your own country. Good luck.

Me and my friends figured this out ages ago. First you need money, lots of it, like about how much Bill Gates has. Then you buy a small developing country like Croatia, Poland or some African state. After a while the value of your chosen country would have hopefully gone up quite alot so that you can sell the whole country to the Guy that owns IKEA, or the USA, you choose. Then you can buy TWO small developing countries and do the same thing. After a while you would own most of the newly developed countries. You can than turn them into one giant superpower, bigger than Russian, the USA and China put together. By this point you will have a really cool new name and you would be rolling in it, so you can build the biggest and scariest army the world has ever seen and take it by force.\n   This is a very long and drawn out method but i hope you will see that it is the safest and most comfortable way to take over the world. Their are flaws to this plan you say, No. I have them sorted, to become as rich as Bill Gates, BECOME Bill Gates, e.g. Steal his identity. And purchasing a country is easy, just find the most corrupt one around and buy each member of its government a villa in Mexico, they will happily run away and leave you control the country.\n   Taking over the world is really that easy, and i am giving you this idea for free, i think i deserve to be voted the best answer, don't you?
