Biggest Mistakes People Make When Meeting The President

Meeting the President of the United States can be a proud, once-in-a-lifetime occasion — but it can also be plenty nerve-wracking. After all, you've only got one chance to make a first impression with one of the most powerful people in the world.

Of course, if you do screw up and embarrass yourself, you're far from the only one who's ever done so. Very influential heads of state (as well as even other Presidents) have tripped up when it comes to protocol around the sitting President.

From drinking too much, to forgetting your manners, to translating things between languages exceptionally poorly, these are the biggest mistakes people make when meeting the President.

President Lincoln sounds like he was a pretty cool. I would have loved to have met him

Well we don’t have to worry about it in America because we don’t have a president.

Presidents are public servants, not leaders, just like every other politician. They shouldn't be put up on a pedestal like they are.

Bringing the wrong gift can be the ultimate embarrassment.
So, to save face, gift a Jello mold; lime preferably.

Thinking the president is someone special would be the most common mistake

Treating the leader of the free world like one of your old high school classmates is probably not a great idea.
