The President of the United States

Holding the office of President is our country’s highest honor but the job of president has become so thankless I wonder why anyone wants to do it. But I am grateful that people are willing to do it, and other government positions, both elected and appointed.

The president of the United States is the:

U.S. head of state
Chief executive of the federal government
Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces

This is my tenth year of blogging, during which time there have been three United States presidential elections in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and I have written about all three.

Dr. Jill Stein has ran in two of those, including the current one.
