'The President's Code' Examines Common Traits Of U.S. Leaders

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — Author Clint Arthur visited the KCAL9 studios Friday to talk about his new book, "The President's Code."

The book examines the lives of all 44 presidents for common traits of our most uncommon leaders.

From their earliest days in school, American children are told that "one day they could grow up to be President of The United States." In this groundbreaking work from the author of "The Greatest Book Of All Time," Clint Arthur analyzes the basic building blocks of what our country's greatest leaders did to mold themselves into the stuff of Presidents.

- Marital Choices

- Family Decisions

- Professional Avocation

- Religious Beliefs

- Experience in Government

- Educational Background

These and 7 other aspects of the men who rose to the top job in our nation's capital are deconstructed to offer clues for voters to consider and aspiring future Presidents to use as guideposts in their path to the Presidency.
