If you can make literally anyone President of the United States for a full four-year term, then who are you picking - and why?

Here's the deal. Name a name; that person becomes President right now and holds the office for the next four years. You aren't limited by the qualifications set up in the Constitution, either (meaning you can choose a foreign national, for example). If the person you choose is dead, then they will be resurrected. If you choose a fictional character, they will become real.

So, who ya got?
 
I'm going with Dwight Eisenhower. Good mixture of conservative and progressive principles that led to an unprecedented economic boom. That 90% tax rate on the topmost 1% really boosted the economy. Also set the groundwork for the first moon landing in 1969. Ever wonder why the Boomers love the 1950s so much? Eisenhower made that happen.
