17 ROLES OF THE PRESIDENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE CHIEF DIPLOMAT CHIEF LEGISLATOR CHIEF CITIZEN COMMANDER IN CHIEF CHIEF OF STATE CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR CHIEF OF PARTY
18 CHIEF EXECUTIVE The president is the chief executive, empowered to administer the laws and affairs of the nation. While the president does not make the laws, his agencies have the responsibility and authority to carry out the laws. Examples in this role 1. Appointing the head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). 2. Holding a Cabinet meeting to discuss government business. 3. Reading Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reports on the state of national security 1. Which recent executive orders have impacted the state of the nation? 2. What article in the Constitution grants the president executive power?
19 CHIEF DIPLOMAT Being a diplomat involves interacting with leaders from other nations. The president takes the lead in foreign relations by associating with foreign leaders and, along with the help of Congress, develops a foreign policy with other nations. Examples in this role 1. Traveling to London to meet with the British prime minister. 2. Working with leaders in the Middle East in an effort to create a peace plan for the region. 1. Which foreign leaders has the president recently hosted at the White House? Which nations has the president recently visited? 2. What have been the motivating reasons for these visits? 3. Which countries have been traditional allies of the United States? Do these friendly relationships remain strong today?
20 CHIEF LEGISLATOR Though the president cannot make laws, he can voice his own ideas and opinions to Congress while they draft legislation. He does this through speeches promoting his agenda and by meeting with Congress to discuss policies. Examples in this role 1. Signing or vetoing a bill passed by Congress. 2. Working to get enough House or Senate votes for a bill to be passed through each respective house. 3.Making a speech in Congress. 1. Name one controversial piece of legislation that the president has pushed through Congress. 2. How has the president pushed his plan for healthcare?
21 CHIEF OF STATE The president's role as chief of state is to represent the United States at public events. This is mainly a ceremonial role that allows the president to promote/convey/represent American values and acknowledge others who do the same. Examples in this role 1. Awarding medals to students receiving academic honors. 2. Congratulating astronauts upon their return from space travel. 3. Greeting visitors to the White House. 4. Delivering the State of the Union Address. 1. When has a president visited U.S. cities in distress? 2. How would a president play the role of chief of state during wartime?
22 COMMANDER IN CHIEF The president is the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces. That means all of the military leaders report to and take orders from the president. The president performs this duty as a civilian, someone who is not in military service. Examples in this role 1. Inspecting a Navy yard. 2. Deciding, in wartime, whether to bomb foreign cities. 3. Calling out the National Guard to stop a riot. 1. What is the benefit of having a civilian who is an elected public official as the commander-in chief? 2. What might be some of the drawbacks?
23 CHIEF OF PARTY In this role, the president helps members of his political party get elected or appointed to office. The president campaigns for those members who have supported his policies. At the end of a term the president may campaign for reelection with his party s support. Examples in this role 1. Choosing leading party members to serve in the Cabinet. 2. Traveling to California to speak at a rally for a party nominee to the U.S. Senate. 1. To what political party does the current president belong? 2. In what ways can a sitting president work on behalf of his party? 3. In what ways can the president's party continue to work on his behalf?
24 CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR The president also has to be the chief administrator, meaning to manage the fifteen executive depts. and federal agencies, such as NASA, and to help carry out those policies. Being the chief administrator is an enormous task because the executive departments employ around 1.8 million employees every year. Even millions more are employed by the postal service and other government agencies
25 CHIEF CITIZEN This role of the President infers that he is the moral leader and figurehead of the United States. As a representative of the nation's people, the president automatically assumes the role of its chief citizen, or popular leader. This role requires that the president maintains a certain trust with the people, since it is his/her duty to work for the public interest. In addition, the president must place the nation's best interests above the interests of any one group or citizen. Some examples are educating citizens on important issues, leading by example, and concentrating on issues that affect American citizens.
26 EXECUTIVE OFFICES The President s right arm as it is referred to is the several offices that are staffed by the President s closest advisors, and are designed to help the President make, and enforce policy. They include: NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS CABINET OTHERS
27 NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL The National Security Council is the President's principal forum for considering national security and foreign policy matters with his senior national security advisors and cabinet officials. Since its inception under President Truman, the function of the Council has been to advise and assist the President on national security and foreign policies. The Council also serves as the President's principal arm for coordinating these policies among various government agencies.
28 OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET OMB's predominant mission is to assist the President in overseeing the preparation of the federal budget and to supervise its administration in Executive Branch agencies. In addition, OMB oversees and coordinates the Administration's financial management, information, and regulatory policies.
29 OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY The principal purpose of ONDCP is to establish policies, priorities, and objectives for the Nation's drug control program. The goals of the program are to reduce illicit drug use, manufacturing, and trafficking, drug-related crime and violence, and drug-related health consequences. To achieve these goals, the Director of ONDCP is charged with producing the National Drug Control Strategy. The Strategy directs the Nation's anti-drug efforts and establishes a program, a budget, and guidelines for cooperation among Federal, State, and local entities.
30 COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS The CEA was established by the Employment Act of 1946 to provide the President with objective economic analysis and advice on the development and implementation of a wide range of domestic and international economic policy issues.
31 CABINET The tradition of the Cabinet dates back to the beginnings of the Presidency itself. One of the principal purposes of the Cabinet (drawn from Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution) is to advise the President on any subject he may require relating to the duties of their respective offices. The Cabinet includes the Vice President and, by law, the heads of 15 executive departments-the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General.
