There are questions that seem simple, but deep down they reveal who we are. What would I do if I were president? It’s not just a game of imagination or a political exercise. It’s a mirror. An invitation to look straight at our convictions, our social wounds, and the hopes we’ve kept tucked away for years.
The book If I Were President, by José Luis Cano Briones, is available on Amazon in both English and Spanish.
This book is born from that curiosity we all feel at some point—whether in a casual conversation, in an improvised debate, or in those moments when reality squeezes us and we think, “If it were in my hands, I would do it differently.” This is not about empty promises or campaign speeches. It’s about exploring what could happen if the common voice—the citi- zen’s, the person who lives with the consequences of every decision—sat, for a moment, in the seat of power.
Each chapter opens a different window: education, the economy, justice, health, national identity, social well-being. These are ideas that don’t seek to impose an absolute truth, but to spark reflection. To ask with- out fear. To imagine responsibly. To dream without letting your feet leave the ground.
