The President of the United StatesThe position of the President of the United States is one of the most important positions in the world.Article II of the United States Constitution defines the powers of the President:The President must be at least 35 years of age.The President must be a 'natural born' citizen of the United States.The President must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.The President is the chief executive of the federal government and Commander in Chief of the armed services. The President has the authority to send troops into combat and is the only person who can decide to use nuclear weapons. The chief executive develops federal policies; makes and enforces treaties, enforces laws and court rulings and appoints federal officials. The President's actions must be approved by the Senate, or in some cases, the Congress. The President approves or vetoes acts of Congress and has the power to grant pardons.There have been 44 men who filled the 45 Presidencies in the United States because Grover Cleveland was President #22 and #24.There have been good Presidents and there have been bad ones. The good ones rarely accomplish all the good that people thought they would and the bad ones never did all the 'bad' that people thought they would. We have a great system of checks and balances and bad decisions, or good decisions, can be undone by the following administrations. Policies that do the most good for the most people will endure as long as the minority is well represented. We live in a great country!
