The American presidency

The American presidency is the highest executive office in the United States, held by the President, who is elected every four years. The President serves as the head of state, head of government, and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Responsibilities include enforcing laws, leading the executive branch, proposing legislation, and managing foreign relations. The President also has the power to veto laws and appoint federal judges. The office is part of a system of checks and balances, ensuring that no single branch of government becomes too powerful, and embodies the nation’s leadership and values.
