The President of the United States of America is the person who performs variety of roles for his country. United States of America is the strongest country in the world and called a Super Power of the World among the countries. That is why President of United States is most often referred as the most influential person in the world.
First role of the American President is the Chief of State. In this role, the president is the leader of the country who has to perform numerous ceremonial duties which includes attending the foreign leaders making policies, awarding military badges to Military Officials. The other role of the American President under the constitution of USA is that the President is the Chief Executive of the country. The President of USA heads over 150 different departments and in order to carries out the duties more efficiently, the President appoints 13 different Secretaries of State and he has a number of White House executive staff who helped him in running the Government smoothly.
The most important role performed by the President is that he is a Commander in Chief of the Army. The president can take all important decision regarding homeland security of the country. He is also responsible for deploying, supervising and training of forces. The president is also the Chief Diplomat of the country and he is responsible for all the foreign policy. Besides that role he is a legislative leader who guides the congress and suggesting in law making decisions. The President remains the leader of his own political party during his tenure and the political party helps the President to keep in touch with the needs of the common man and their reaction towards his programs.
It is very difficult for any President to perform all of these roles efficiently but he has to be sharp in countering all of his adversaries. The President is the focal point and his actions are keenly watched in all over the world. The decisions of the President whether it is a Homeland Security, foreign affairs and economic decisions can affect all the world’s countries.
In my view the Three Best Presidents of United States include Abraham Lincoln, Frankly Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson. Similarly the three worst Presidents are James Buchanan, Ronald Reagan, George W, Bush.
I choose Abraham Lincoln as the best President because the way he had managed the civil war and led the Union troops to victory over southern secession. He signed the thirteenth Amendment of abolishing slavery permanently from the States.
Frankly Roosevelt is on my list of Best President is because the way he managed the World War II in Europe and Japan. Furthermore, he managed to bring out the country from the Great Depression. He performed greatly in the social sector as he established the social security for the elderly persons. He had also created the number of laws which were beneficial for the middle class persons.
Lyndon Johnson took the President’s office after the Jim Crow and signed the Great Society legislation which gives number of rights to the common people. He also appointed T. Marshall as the first African American justice of the Supreme Court.
The worst Presidents are James Buchanan, because of the way of his indecisiveness in his political and social views. He was responsible for the start of Civil War between Northern and Southern States. Ronald Reagan, is also another president which came short in performing his duties for the President. He had reversed all the legislation which protected the common people. He was responsible in weakening the labor Unions which were the strong pillar of the middle classes. George W, Bush is another President who came as the worst in my list because he followed the Reagan agenda in weakening the middle classes. He engaged America into unnecessary wars in Middle East which nearly bankrupted the USA and his action initiated the worst recession since the Great Depression.
