Could Boris Johnson become U.S. President if he wished to run?
If we're talking about the Boris Johnson who is the mayor of London, theoretically. He has dual US and UK citizenship, having been born in NYC. He'd have to move to the US and live there for 14 years to become eligible, per the US Constitution: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."So nothing disqualifies him automatically. His politics and funny hair and what they may or may not mean for his electability are a separate matter altogether.
Who did Boris Johnson vote for in the U.S. presidential election?
Assuming he did register to vote, which I doubt, he would probably have voted for Clinton. He certainly did not like the comments made by Trump about “no-go” areas in Britain.
Would the UK be better off with someone like President Trump as a PM?
What would come closest to a UK equivalent of Donald Trump would be a mix of Lord Alan Sugar (a businessman and UK Apprentice tv show boss) and the current foreign secretary and former London mayor, Boris Johnson. Johnson, until 2016, having been born in New York City, actually was a US citizen. Alan Sugar is in possession of a nice paper weight that expresses his opinion of Piers Morgan and Donald Trump. Lord Alan Sugar reignites feud with Piers Morgan in hilarious fashionBoris Johnson and Donald Trump are united in an embrace, as depicted by a UK street artist.Picture By Matt Brown from London, England - Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, CC BY 2.0, File:Donald Trump and Boris Johnson Street Art.jpgBoth men share a number of characteristics with Trump, in particular a need for being in the public eye and being involved in all sorts of juridical procedures. Johnson in addition has a hairstyle that to a certain degree resembles Trump’s.Would the UK be better of with a Trump-derivate based on these two men instead of the present prime minister Theresa May? That’s a hard one. Johnson is a far more accomplished politician than Trump but shares his self centeredness. Sugar, on the other hand, is untried as a politician, just as Trump was and can hardly do any worse. All in all, I don’t think any of the two would do better than May, which in itself is a sad conclusion.edit 1 july 2018, 21:10:I immediately realized that there ìs no UK citizen like Donald Trump and next I got carried away by my search for the nearest equivalent. So I omitted to really answer the question, which answer obviously is: No, there are a only a handful of countries in the world that might conceivably be better off with someone like Donald Trump as PM. They are all governed by tyrants and dictators , without freedom of press. The UK certainly isn’t one of these .
Is it unacceptable for London's mayor to claim that the US's President Obama doesn't "like" Britain due to its past Empire?
Of course it isn't 'unaccepteble." Boris Johnson has the right to say anything he wants.There is no evidence of any anti-British sentiment in Obama's foreign policy in my opinion, though. Remember Libya? That was UK and France spearheading that all the way. Obama was pretty grudging about it, but in the end he went along with it PURELY because of the long-term relationship the USA has to these allies(and Hillary was gunning for it, too), even though it turned out to be a pretty wretched mistake in my opinion.He is, by all reports, very friendly with the royal family and, at least at one point, was chummy with David Cameron, despite their ideological differences on certain matters(namely, austerity.)At any rate, Obama's the president of the United States, a country hardly innocent in its treatment of other countries or even it's own minorities. I'm sure if he can deal with his own country, he can deal with the UK too. It's the kind of comment you expect from American Republicans who see everything through the lens of Obama's ancestry. In other words, it's idiotic.But I, for one, support the right of Mr. Johnson to say idiotic things in public.
What qualifies Boris Johnson to be foreign secretary?
We live in the age of populism; who needs experience and qualifications?Boris Johnson’s best qualification for foreign secretary is his hair. His hair gets everyone’s immediate attention.In the current age, that is a good thing.His next qualification is what he says. Basically, he talks nonsense, and does it without blushing, and without first getting drunk. (Most people would have to get drunk first before saying the things Boris says.)For Boris, nonsense just comes naturally.His next best qualification is that he is utterly shameless. He is not ashamed to loudly proclaim his support for Brexit, even though most think it was not a good move which has caused headaches for most people.
Why is Boris Johnson anti-American even though he was born in the US and holds US citizenship?
Boris hss given up his US citizenships as he wanted to prove his loyalty to the UK. One suspects that he saw it as a potential issue if he had became prime minister. As for the tax claim, it was for capital gains tax, and he eventually paid up.Politically he is not anti American. He has spoken out against Trump, in particular against his description of no go areas in London while Boris was still mayor there, I find it hard to believe that any other mayor would have reacted differently.He remains however someone who is stll quite close to America and I don't see that changing. He will continue to say stupid things about America, but he does that to everybody.
What are the who, what, where, when, why of when Johnson became president?
Vice President Andrew Johnson was sworn in in Washington, D. C., after the death of Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson was sworn in on Air Force One, enroute from Dallas, Texas, to Washington, D. C., after the death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was (perhaps) assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald. The most minimal amount of research will produce dates, places, details of the assassinations, and the names of the officials who took their oaths and others present at the swearing-in.
