Well, I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest woman President in the history of the United States!

Barack Obama

I'm really excited about the prospect of a woman president of the United States.

Gerald R. Ford

I hope we do have a young lady at some point become president of the United States. I can tell you how I think it will happen, because it won’t happen in the normal course of events.

Either the Republican or Democrat political party will nominate a man for president and a woman for vice president. And the woman and man will win. So you’ll end up with a president, a male, and a vice president, a female. And in that term of office of the president, the president will die, and the woman will become president under the law—or Constitution.

And once that barrier is broken, from then on, men better be careful, because they’ll have a hard, hard time ever even getting a nomination in the future. But that’s the way it’s going to happen, and I think it’ll probably come sometime in the next four or eight years.

Former President Gerald Ford, took questions after a speech to schoolchildren at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch, Iowa, October 18, 1989. His response above is to a question from a girl in the audience: “Mr. Ford, what advice would you give a young lady wanting to become president of the United States?”

Hillary Clinton

Senator [Bernie] Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment.

Marco Rubio

I'm not looking to be anyone's vice president. I looking to be the president of the United States. Or, I'll be a private citizen, there's nothing wrong with being a private citizen.

Hillary Clinton

I'm proud to be a woman running for president.

Joseph R. Biden Jr.

And I think Hillary Clinton is able to be elected president of the United States.

Donald Trump

Let me tell you, if Hillary Clinton's president of the United States, nothing's going to happen. It's just going to be talk.

Nancy Pelosi

The American people are very, very ready for a woman president. They're far ahead of the politicians. I always thought it would be much easier to elect a woman president of the United States than Speaker of the House, because the people are far ahead, as I say, of the electeds, on the subject of a woman being president.

Ella Grasso

I would not be President because I do not aspire to be President. But l'm sure that a woman will be President. When? I don't know. It depends. I don't think the woods are full of candidates today.

Donna Brazile

We cannot excuse the fact that he [Donald Trump] is running for president. He's a frontrunner.

Hillary Clinton

I really do hope that we have a woman president in my lifetime.

Rick Santorum

Newt Gingrich would be a much better president than Barack Obama.

Jack Welch

In my lifetime, Mitt Romney is the most qualified leader I've ever seen run for the presidency of the United States.

Tim Kaine

The next president of the United States will be the president that will celebrate 100 years of women having the right to vote. I mean, I think having a woman president lead that celebration would be, you know, one of these instances of history really working out right in a poetic and beautiful way.

Shervin Pishevar

Our nation will be in good hands under a president Hillary Rodham Clinton administration.

Maria Echaveste

We shouldn't deny and sort of ignore that we also have the first female candidate who has really shown that a woman could run for President and do so and be very viable. Remember, this race is very close. It reflects the fact that we have two excellent candidates.

Hari Kondabolu

We've never had a female President in this country, which I find stunning

John McCain

Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as president of the United States.

Elizabeth Warren

I hope Hillary Clinton runs for president.

Bill Maher

As a loyal American and I think a patriotic American, no, I don't want Sarah Palin to be president.

My beloved Hillary, do not disappoint me. You have to be President, OK?

Barack Obama

I don't think the Donald Trump's qualified to be president of the United States, and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed.

I think Donald Trump would be a horrible President.
