If you could have any philosopher become the next president of the U.S. who would it be and why?

Marcus Aurelius seems like an obvious choice. Actual experience as head of state, experience with the multinational politics of war and empire, skilled legislator and legal theorist... his experience and skills alone would be invaluable compared to almost any other philosopher.

But there are also his political and ethical theories, strong sense of duty, relatively liberal and humanist views, restraint and respect for the institutions of law & government, broad tolerance of opposing opinions. Temperamentally he seems almost born in the wrong century.  

I have some question whether he would accept modern democratic principles, but assuming so he would likely become a globally transformative figure as President. And luckily, he wouldn't be able to choose his successor.
