If you want a president that can't make a decision without input from his staff, go for it.

Me, I don't.

I prefer a president that can make a snap decision when and if the situation arises.

I prefer a president that can make a snap decision when and if the situation arises.

If you are talking about the wall paper in the hall bathroom, I agree with you, but if you are talking about a decision affecting over 300 million Americans then the decision maker better be getting input from a number of sources. Obviously, you don't understand how a staff works or even why having a staff is important.

Any one in a leadership who disdains input from staff before making decisions is doomed to failure. Snap decisions (read impulsive decisions) lead to instant disasters. You need to understand that the final decision always rests with the leader, based on the input from knowledgeable staff personnel. The leader can always reject staff input or accept any or all of their input.

The person you want is best described as a lone wolf. Lone wolves do not make good leaders. In the 21st century, the days of Genghis Khan are over.
