The '''President of the United States''' is the head of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] [[Executive Branch]]. As the [[head of  state]] of the [[United States of America]] the President is one of the most powerful people in the [[world]]. The writers of the [[United States Constitution|constitution]] recognized that they were writing a job description which, in [[England]], was and is filled by the office of the [[Prime Minister]] and position of the [[Monarchy|Monarch]]. At that time, the Monarchy of England did not seem to serve the common man and the Founders wanted to create a [[government]] that did.

==Current President==
 +
The current President is [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. He took office on January 20, 2009. His predecessor was [[George W. Bush|George Walker Bush]].
  
 +
==Election==
 +
The President is selected every four years by the American people, although not through a [[popular vote]] but rather through the [[Electoral College]]. This process makes the Presidency one of the few elected officials in the [[United States of America]] chosen indirectly, and it was intended to do so by the [[Founding Fathers]].

*George Bush is widely regarded as the greatest comedian in the history of mankind. This is despite the fact he's never attempted to tell a joke in his life. Theory is he acquired this power during one of his weekly tee times with God, trading it for his ability to pronounce nuclear. It should also be noted God has never mispronounced nuclear since.

*It's a little known fact that Abraham Lincoln, or "The Emancipator", is in fact the greatest boxer ever. During a particularly heated moment in the Stephen Douglas debate, Douglas attempted to start a fistfight. This is widely regarded as the dumbest decision a presidential canidate has ever made, with the exception of Howard Dean's infamous speech "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The Debate resumed two days later, after hours of delicate surgery had removed Douglas's teeth from his brain. Sadly, the remainder of the debate consisted of Douglas randomnly shouting "MEATLOAF!", and slamming his fist onto his podium like a [[ginger]] giving birth to a [[llama]]. 
 
−
*In France, the president is the head of state, so he must constant argue with and stonewall the head of government, namely the [[Prime Minister]]. If this doesn't take place, people begin to question if anything gets done, and no one wants that, ain't it so?

*In Finland, the President is not a person, but in fact a two dimensional fictional character named "Moominmamma". There is currently a great debate involving most of Finlands political recources going on about why this is.

A President is someone who has the power to rape every rule and law (including grammar laws)in the book, and make up new ones as he or she goes along(see [[Dub-Ya]] for more info). He is also a feuckin bitch who is GAY. A President can also pass votes that, though perhaps not directly, may cause suicidal behaviour in pregnant teenage males. Some Presidents are more powerful than others. (this following is information regarding the United States)The United States President, for example, has power over most of the world(see Team America World Police on Wikipedia for more info). While the U.S.s official turf encompasses everything south of Canada and north of Mexico(plus Alaska and Hawaii), they are moving in on Afghanistan and more importantly Iraq, both of whom have many valuable natural resources(opium, oil, cannabis, hashish, oil, lots more oil and opium, see Mike Toreno for details). The US is considered by many to be one of the most ruthless crews this side of Earth. Their colors are Red, White, and Blue, resembling Native Americans(red) who were killed and their bodies turned cold and strange-colored(blue) by mostly white people(white). While a less-organized but more-famous method of smokin' motherfeuckaz was just to invade and accidentally shoot as many civis as possible, a method that is becoming increasingly popular is to break into someone's house and stuff hundreds of sleeping pills in their mouths, thus O.D.ing them(see Dub-Ya's book, titled "Dope-A(A symbolizing I)-Mean, Uh..." for details on how to avoid an overdose). Back to the Presidency. Being President means all your Capos(see Government Staff for details) kick up directly to you, and then you give a percentage to the guy who really call's the shots(see Cick&Dheney Contract Hitz.org for info). Also, if a certain business refuses to pay their "protection tax" to you, you have the bribe money to call the Po-Lease(see Racist for more info) and have them locked up for years.

The United States Presidential Seal

The President of the United States is the head of the U.S. Executive Branch. As the head of state of the United States of America the President is one of the most powerful people in the world. The writers of the constitution recognized that they were writing a job description which, in England, was and is filled by the office of the Prime Minister and position of the Monarch. At that time, the Monarchy of England did not seem to serve the common man and the Founders wanted to create a government that did.

Current President

The current President is Barack Hussein Obama. He took office on January 20, 2009. His predecessor was George Walker Bush.

Election

The President is selected every four years by the American people, although not through a popular vote but rather through the Electoral College. This process makes the Presidency one of the few elected officials in the United States of America chosen indirectly, and it was intended to do so by the Founding Fathers.

Term Limits

After Franklin Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, Congress passed a Constitutional Amendment restricting future Presidents to two terms.

However if the Vice President succeeds to the Presidency, with no more than two years left in the prior President's term, he is allowed to run for two terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

The first President to whom term limits applied was Dwight D. Eisenhower.
