He is one man. that makes the difference. he can make decisions faster than a group. he is one face; when other countries want to speak to America, they want to speak to the president. He's the face of the country, politically, millitarily, economically.

He's is respected, his voice carries a lot of weight, people listen too him. I remember asking my mom when i was young "hey mom, can the president make laws?" "No," she said, "but he can suggest a law for Congress to make." Well a lot of good that does, i thought. Anybody can suggest a law for Congress to make. Why does every representative do what the president wants? Because

Why does every representative do what the president wants? Well part of the reason is because he is the head of the Party, so if a Congressman dosn't listen to the president he's less like to get funding from his party for his next re-election.

But i still haven't addressed why exactly we need a president. There is one thing a president does which I have not yet mentioned.
After the Whiskey Rebellion, those who were involved were tried and convicted. These men were criminals, murderers, theives, traitors. But then [[Washington]] did something only he would have done. Something only a president could have done. He ''pardoned'' the whiskey rebels.

But the only situation where you a convicted criminal would want to be pardoned, is if you knew something about the convict. Will the Cheif Justice review every convict to see if there is one worthy of pardon?

The judge would not have stopped the whiskey rebellion, no laweyer of politician would have thougt twice about convicting these men. General, or colonel perhaps, might have stopped the rebellion; Shay's Rebellion finally ceased after half the U.S. army came to halt them. But officers would not have the power to pardon those men.
