of course everybody wants to rule the world in every aspects and thus holding a position politically is their way..
Rather than being a president, I want to become senator or congressman, for I believe making and initiating a law is a powerful task...

I would want to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. To me at least, that is the most powerful position in the US government. The President can write all the Executive Orders he wants, Congress can pass all the legislation they want but the Supreme Court has final say about whether any of it is constitutional.
The greatest power that the Chief Justice has is the ability to decide what cases the Supreme Court will hear and rule on. There are hundreds of cases each year sent to the Supreme Court for a ruling. However, they actually hear and make a decision on very few. This ability to rule on a law by doing nothing but let it stand makes the Chief Justice extremely powerful.
