The president must be where both the driver and secret service agents can see him at all times, since it is their job to protect him. Also, historically, a person in authority sat in the rear and the driver sat in the front to show the social status of each person: the person in the back seat was so important that he (or in some cases, she) had a personal driver. You can still see this in countries with royalty-- the king or queen sits in back, and the driver sits up front, reflecting that the driver works for the member of royalty.
