If you could ask the President one question...

[Mr.Bill]

The system is broke.. Not necessarily the individual politicians..

Of course the individual politicians broke the system.. So..............................................

But no 1 guy is going to fix it. That's impossible now.

Mr President what is the end game for Iran gaining nuclear weapons. How much of the current rhetoric is saber rattling and how much is a genuine threat

All good questions but the premise of the OP is "honestly". While you can look up the definition of honestly in Merriam-Webster, it has two definitions.

1: in an honest manner: as
a : without cheating <counted the ballots honestly>
b : really, genuinely <was honestly scared>
c : without frills <food honestly prepared>

2: to be honest : to tell the truth <honestly, I don't know>

Politicians won't use the 2nd definition. You will never get a truthful answer. That's why I said it's better to use the word truthfully which has no 2nd meaning.

: telling or disposed to tell the truth <a truthful witness>

I'd ask him to tell me to which company the next largest defense contract would be awarded, but had not yet been announced.

That way I could use that information for personal monetary gain. What's the use of information if you can't benefit from it?

Mr. President, would you please define FAIR SHARE in specific dollar percentages for each income category?

I would ask any president this:

Let's assume you can only pass 1 piece of comprehensive legislation. You will be stopped on everything else your entire term. However, this one piece of legislation will not be fought in any way. You can pass it exactly how you and only you want it. What would it be and why?
