The five roles of the American President:

Chief Executive

Chief Legislator

Chief Diplomat

Commander in Chief

Chief of State

Keep in mind that the power of the presidency has significantly grown since George Washington was the country’s first president. Not because the Constitution has changed, but because presidents themselves have expanded their inherent powers. In particular, I’m looking at you, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and George W. Bush.
That all said, the president doesn’t control everything, man. So maybe, I don’t know, pay attention to OTHER PEOPLE running for public office this year?

So what did I leave out regarding presidential responsibilities? Also, I am planning on a follow-up to this video about what makes a GOOD president, according to the experts, and I’d like to hear your opinions about that. Ya know, because y’all are experts, too. Let me know down below. Thanks for watching!
