The President of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by influence and recognition. The President is at the head of the executive branch of the federal government; his role is to enforce national law as given in the Constitution and written by Congress.
Article Two of the Constitution establishes the President as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and enumerates powers specifically granted to the President, including the power to sign into law or veto bills passed by both houses of Congress. The President also has the power to create a cabinet of advisers and to grant pardons or reprieves. Finally, with the "advice and consent" of the Senate, the President is empowered to make treaties and appoint federal officers, ambassadors, and federal judges, including Justices of the Supreme Court. As with officials in the other branches of the United States government, the Constitution restrains the President with a set of checks and balances designed to prevent any individual or group from taking absolute power.
The American Presidents are thus a very select group of men who have guided the United States through economic depression and economic boom, Cold War, Civil War and Iraq War, territorial expansion, Civil Rights and a million other events. Some Presidents were great, others were failures in many ways, but all served their country to the best of their ability. This Myspace profile is dedicated to them!
We can't accept regular profiles because that would bury our presidential profiles. Instead, consider U.S. Presidents to be an online resource. You can search through our friends and send requests to the Presidents you want. We also accept a limited number of people who weren't presidents but were closely linked to them, such as First Ladies and presidential assassins.
