Tired Of Your President? Then Take A Look At 24 Photos Of Ireland’s President Being The Best President
The position of President in Ireland is largely ceremonial, and only has limited powers. The current incumbent, Michael D. Higgins, is the guardian of the constitution and a representative of the Irish state in world affairs, and it's fair to say that he does a great job!
Resembling the kind and cuddly grandpa that you always wanted, Mr. Higgins comes off as a genuine and approachable guy. People are sharing examples of why he is so loved by the Irish people, and we wish that all presidents were so happy and positive! Scroll down below to check out why everyone wants to have a cup of tea with the president of Ireland, and let us know what you think in the comments!

"If only my husband held me like the president holds his dog..." (sniff)

Bernese Mountain dogs make the best pets. Their attitudes are so placid and friendly. Gorgeous dogs inside and out.
That's his wife........... she's probably just checking to be sure everything is ok.
I think that his wife is sitting next to him, almost hidden by the waiter

That's a burner!!! Love it. Wish I'd be irish, could vote for him.
He is so charismatic that even the bird is listening to him patiently...
Can't you like something without hating first?? Just make a damned post about this cool Irish guy.
Exactly. Whoever wrote the title to this story should go sit in a corner for a while. There's enough negativity in this world without having to instigate more.

He reminds me of my ancestors in family photos!! Photos of the men in my family inspire one to say "What a wee little Welsh man!" Must be our shared ancient Celtic heritage.
Hm. Well. Now I am sitting here. Thinking about "Mama Merkel" and if I should move to Ireland...
Hey! Be happy you're not stuck living in USA or Russland or Turkey or China or Poland...or Syria or Afghanistan. You should be more worried about AfD and CSU. Ireland sounds beautiful but I'm worried what will happen to it after Brexit. You know how they say: The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

if only more leaders were like this legend the world would be a happier place i think oh and fcking die trump u wank stain
My president (Serbian) is psychopath. He hates us, our country and people. He's killing us every day with stupidity, criminal behavior and his bots. Unemployment in Serbia is high, an on the other hand people work for 200 and 300 euros. Bills are high and if you can't pay bills because you don't have, he and his dogs stole everything from you. We can't travel and work abroad because our passport is on the black list on so many countries. He sells us like a slaves and sells everything in our country (old fabrics, companies, event the water sources). News are full of everyday tragedies, suicides, domestic violence, starving to death etc.
Can we in the US borrow him for a week? I would say trade, but wouldn't want to inflict the poison that is our cheeto-in-charge on Ireland.
I think I love him, too. If only our American President could be more like him!
Didn't even need the photos. You had me with the "limited powers" statement. Photos were a plus though.
heard a quote today- The Donald says the British "love him" - I really dont think we do - the only person worthy of admiration is Melania - who says very little, yet stands by her vows to the hamster-headed megalomaniac - just my opinion - the Irish President and his humility and his beautiful dogs are just heart-warming
My President is Donald Trump, so no... I'm not tired of him at all. :D I voted for him and will do so again!
Truly a president of the people. Unlike that Chump chap on the other side of the pond.
Hihi John Smith is so adorable. Typical Chump chap who can’t say more than maga. Says a lot about the kind of people attracted by Chump. People without any kind of soul. Funny and sad at the same time :D

This is amazing. I can't fault it. But does he get s**t done in his country? Its amazing that he actually stands in lines and stuff but what has he done for poverty or crime? Asking the hard questions here guys.
Hi Gareth, in ireland, the majority of the power rests with our government. They are responsible in respect to issuing laws and making constitutional changes. Our president is an elected head of state but does not have much of a say in the day to day running of the country. In saying that mickey D has a long standing history in politics, he speaks fluent Irish, is very passionate about people's rights and especially those of the under privileged. He is an exceptionally intelligent, warm, humorous man who has always conducted himself with dignity, humility and poise. He's running for and second term here and I don't think he'll have much competition!! As an Irish woman, I'm proud he's our president. If you ever got a chance to spend five minutes with him.... you'll understand what I mean ☺
