Powers and duties of the President



What do you think is the most important duty of the President of the United States? As chief executive, the President carries out the laws of the land. But, the President also serves as the country's chief of state, Commander in Chief, and chief diplomat. The President acts not only as an executive leader, but also as a legislative leader and a judicial leader. This question, then, really has no one answer. All of these duties are important to American government today.

To carry out so many responsibilities, the President is given many powers. These are listed in Figure 2.
