U.S. presidents are members of an elite club. As “leaders of the free world” during their stints in the Oval Office, they are expected to uphold Western alliances and traditions, support and defend the U.S. Constitution, fairly execute the laws of the land, administer the federal bureaucracy (as head of the executive branch of the U.S. government), conduct foreign policy and international affairs, and other important tasks.
