The Responsibilities of the President
The responsibilities of the president, what the president can and cannot do:
What the President Can Do:
- Make treaties
- Sign and veto bills
- Lead his political party
- Can talk directly to the people about problems
What the President Cannot Do:
- Declare war
- Make laws
- Interpret laws
- Decide how federal money will be spent
Although the president is the head of the country, he does not control the people or everything in our country.
If a candidate runs for president they will be "disqualified" from the debate if they do not follow these rules and regulations.
