The most important duty of the president is to uphold the law and rule the country in accordance with the laws of the country. The president is also expected to protect the freedom of his people.
The duties of the President are guided by the US Constitution, Article II (2), as:
Any other powers or duties are outside the original constitutional mandate.
The expressed powers of the President of the United States are set down in Article II of the Constitution. The major function of the executive branch is to enforce the laws.The powers are of two sorts: those exercised alone without legislative approval and those that require consent of the Senate or House.
Powers of the President Alone: commander in chief of the armed forces; commission officers of the armed forces; grant reprieves and pardons for federal offenses (except impeachment); convene Congress into special session; receive ambassadors; take care that the laws be faithfully executed; make use of the "executive power" of the office, such as the veto power; give an annual State of the Union Address to Congress; appoint officials to lesser offices.
Powers shared with the Senate/House: make treaties; appoint ambassadors, judges, and high governmental officials; approve or veto legislation.
The President also has "implied powers." These are powers that are not listed in the Constitution but have been used by presidents as conditions change. During times of emergency, the President often does things that would not be acceptable during peaceful times. President Lincoln, for example, raised an army, spent money, blockaded southern ports, and suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and issued the Emancipation Proclamation without the approval of Congress. Since the President is the only person elected by the whole nation, the President can use his office to influence events and use his ceremonial duties to express his wishes and goals. He can use the media to get his message to the public or to criticize Congress or to try and convince congress to take a particular action. He can also use his office to influence the activity of the other two branches by his popularity with the public. Even a threat of a veto or the suggested appointment of a certain individual could make the other branches take notice of the implied suggestions from the executive office.
1) The President is Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
2) The President is responsible for enforcing the laws of the United States.
3) The President is Head of State of the United States, representing the U.S. to foreign governments and empowered to negotiate treaties with same, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
4) The President is empowered to appoint Officers (both civilian and military) of the U.S. government, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
5) The President appoints Federal Judges to the U.S. Judiciary, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
For most powers of the Presidency, there exists a Cabinet Secretary to assist the President in the execution of his duties. For instance the Secretary of Defense to direct the operations of the Armed Forces, the Attorney General to enforce U.S. law, and the Secretary of State to represent the U.S. to foreign governments. But in fact all of the duties of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government are ultimately the responsibility of the President of the United States.

Chapter presidents may be asked to speak or act officially on matters which are within their areas of official responsibility and on which they are fully informed. When the Association's official position is known, particularly when it has appeared in writing, it should be quoted to ensure consistency of response. Advice from higher Association authorities should be sought when the official position is not known. Without exception, new or controversial matters should be referred to the Association President and Executive Director. This is particularly important when drafting a statement that will reflect the association's position.
There is an informal communications network that exists among all members of the Chapter Cabinet. Each chapter president becomes part of this network while serving as chapter president-elect. It is an important responsibility for the chapter president to see that the chapter's president-elect is made a part of the informal communications network.
Face-to-face interaction at the Winter Meeting and Annual Conference is the best means of establishing a productive rapport among Cabinet members. Between meetings, the telephone, fax, telex, electronic mail and the post office assist the functioning of the informal communications network.
To assure that the chapter president-elect is fully informed on all business of the chapter and the Chapter Cabinet, it is important to send copies of all chapter and association-related correspondence, even if the subject matter seems inconsequential. This keeps the president-elect both informed and prepared to substitute for the president, in case of an emergency.
So this was my answer I am so proud to write this whole paragraphs.
