Ever wondered what it takes to become president in BitLife and run a whole country? Whether you’re looking to lead your nation to glory or just want to add “President” to your BitLife legacy, becoming the head of state is one of the most ambitious—and rewarding—achievements in the game.
But here’s the catch: becoming President in BitLife isn’t easy. It takes planning, patience, and a whole lot of cash. Whether you’re using an Android or iOS device, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from birth to election victory.
Let’s dive into the ultimate roadmap to presidential power in BitLife.
1. What You Need to Know Before You Start
Before we break down the steps, here are a few important things to note:
- You must have BitLife’s “Political Pack”, which is available via in-app purchase. Without it, you won’t be able to enter politics.
- You can only become President in countries that are republics. For example, the U.S. is fair game, but the U.K. isn’t because it has a monarchy.
- Being President requires high smarts, money, popularity, and zero criminal records.
Perfect for gamers aiming for political power! Now, let’s get you into the Oval Office.
2. Choose the Right Country
Start by selecting a country where the title of President is possible. The best and most straightforward country for this goal is the United States, but you can also try Brazil, Argentina, or other republics.
Tip: The U.S. offers higher political salary potential and a more familiar path to presidency—making it ideal for first-timers.
3. Create a Smart and Clean Character
To start off right:
- Choose high Smarts—at least 85+ from birth. If not, reroll or read books in childhood to raise it.
- Make sure your character stays healthy, in shape, and out of trouble throughout their life. Any arrests or shady behavior can tank your chances in politics.
4. Focus on Education and Extracurriculars
To build a resume that voters love:
- Study hard in elementary, middle, and high school.
- Join extracurricular activities like student council, debate club, or model UN.
- When the time comes, choose Political Science, History, or Law in university.
Optional but recommended: Attend Law School after your undergraduate degree. It boosts credibility and improves your chances when running for office.
5. Build Your Reputation Before Politics
After education, you need to establish yourself before jumping into politics. You can:
- Get a job as a Lawyer, Professor, or Businessperson.
- Start small and work your way up.
- Maintain high work performance and avoid lawsuits or negative headlines.
This builds your finances and reputation—both essential when running for office.
6. Accumulate Wealth Early
Running for President is expensive. Campaigns require millions of dollars in BitLife. Without it, you won’t get far, no matter how smart or clean your record is.
Ways to make money in BitLife:
- High-paying jobs (lawyer, executive, CEO)
- Start a business (if you have God Mode)
- Invest in real estate or the stock market
- Marry rich (hey, no judgment!)
Important: Save as much as possible before entering politics. You’ll need serious funding to win.
7. Start Small: Run for School Board or Mayor First
Before you shoot for the presidency, it’s best to build a political career from the ground up.
Start with smaller political offices:
- School Board Director
- Mayor
- Governor
Each successful election builds experience and public trust. Plus, you’ll earn a small salary and gain popularity.
Campaign wisely:
- Choose affordable yet effective marketing options
- Keep your approval ratings high by making fair decisions
- Avoid corruption—it can destroy your career
8. Increase Your Popularity
You won’t win any election if no one likes you.
To become a household name:
- Maintain a positive public image
- Make decisions that please voters (education, health care, environment)
- Avoid scandals, affairs, or criminal activity
- Post on social media regularly and positively
- Donate to charity or volunteer
Tip: Occasionally using the “Seek Publicity” option boosts your popularity too.
9. Run for President
When you’ve gained enough political experience (usually after being Governor or Mayor), you’ll be eligible to run for President.
Here’s how to run:
- Go to the Occupation tab.
- Tap Politics > Run for Office > Choose President.
- Select your Party (Democrat, Republican, or Independent).
- Set your Campaign Budget.
The bigger the budget, the higher the chances of winning. It’s not unusual to need over $2 million or more.
Campaign Strategy:
- Invest in radio, TV, and online ads.
- Keep doing interviews and press appearances.
- Make campaign promises voters love.
- Monitor approval ratings closely.
10. Winning the Presidency
The votes are in, and now you wait.
If you’ve:
- Stayed out of trouble,
- Built your popularity,
- Raised enough campaign funds, and
- Picked the right campaign strategy…
…then congratulations, you’re now President in BitLife!
As President, you’ll be responsible for national decisions, policies, and random political events.
Tip: Don’t slack off! Making bad choices can lead to impeachment or assassination attempts (yes, seriously).
11. Life as a President in BitLife
Now that you’re in power, here’s what to expect:
- Regular policy decisions on economy, environment, healthcare, etc.
- Citizens may protest or praise you.
- You’ll be able to shape laws and national priorities.
- Your approval rating will affect your chances of re-election.
Re-election Tip: Stay consistent with your campaign promises, keep popularity high, and avoid controversial policies unless you’re very popular.
12. Common Mistakes That Stop You from Becoming President
Here are a few things that can ruin your chances:
- Criminal Records: Even one arrest can disqualify you.
- Low Budget Campaign: If you can’t raise enough money, you’re toast.
- Poor Public Image: Being unpopular means fewer votes.
- Jumping in Too Early: Go through the political ladder first.
- Neglecting Education or Career: You need a solid background to be taken seriously.
13. Pro Tips for Presidential Success

- Invest early in businesses and properties to build wealth.
- Always check approval ratings and act accordingly.
