To make a change in our country.
Stalemate is very common in US politics and if you can become President; you can dictate the agenda.

Because a lot of our presidents were cool, and it's cool technically anyone can become president

I dont think children can be malicious like a movie villain; it's more of wanting to lead the country to do cool things like gaining independence from what will be the world's strongest empire, or help the expansion across an entire continent, or start the initiative to put the first man on the moon and then getting shot in the head. Cool things like that
