What is important about a president?
This essay will be about, why the president is so important to America. This will also be about, how we go about selecting a president. There is a lot of jobs that the president has and I will tell you about them.
As everyone knows it all started by a guy named George Washington. On April 30, 1789 George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall where he took the oath to become our first President. George Washington ran away with being the first President when he won 100% electoral votes. This is the only time in History that anyone did this. The Congress agreed to pay him $25,000, a lot at that time but when they offered him this he refused saying that he is a "selfless public servant." He was plenty wealthy at this time so he did not really need to take this, but then Congress got a little angry with him and then Washington finally took this payment.
The President of the United States or also referred as POTUS, has a lot of jobs they must do. The main ones are, he has to be head of the State and head of Government. Article 2 of the Constitution states that he has to be Commander and Chief of the Armed forces. He has the power to sign a bill. He has to be able to grant pardons and he can also make treaties. He has to appoint Federal officers. He also has to appoint judges and Ambassador's. They have a lot of different jobs and these are not easy.
Some people might say that the Presidents job is easy. This is when you laugh in there face and call them an idiot. They might argue that he gets cool stuff like a huge jet and they get a huge house. Whatever they get while doing this job the deserve it. This is one of the hardest jobs out there, yeah they get cool stuff but the work they do it is kinda not worth it. When people are talking about a president no matter who it is you have to take off your hat to them for what they did for our country.
In this essay I told you some of the responsibility that a president has to do in there term. This stuff is not easy and I thank every president that tried to make our country better. Its not easy but someone has to do it.
