Ben Carson.

If i had to pick a president based on their ethics it sounds like an easy task but it is actually harder. As a normal citizen i would believe in Situation Ethic. Situation Ethics is when the context of an act is taken into consideration. As for the president of the US situation ethics probably would not be the best, because fairness is important.  The second type of ethics is, ethical relativism is the theory that holds that morality is relative to the norms of one's culture. With the president of the US again i would hope that his culture would be an american culture and that way it would not differ much from the people. And the lastly Ethics, just the morals that someone would have. Machiavelli says that "a leader doesn't have to possess all the virtuous qualities . . but it is absolute imperative that he seems to posses them".  I will pick Ben Carson as my presidential choice.  I read up a little on him. I found that his mother only had a third grade education. It also said that he almost killed someone, but he thought to himself how could he be a doctor if he was in jail. His beliefs to God helped him make the right decisions. His ethics were that murder is wrong and that he wanted to be better. Back to the quote, he does not have to have all the qualities but he needs to make it seem that he has all.
