What Does the President Actually Do — and What Can't They Do?

Show Notes

The President of the United States is often called the most powerful person in the world, but that power has real boundaries built into the Constitution. This episode breaks down the specific jobs a president handles every day — from signing bills into law to commanding the military — and explains why certain actions, like making laws alone or spending money without approval, are deliberately off-limits.
