Summary :
Imagine you have just been elected president. You are now commander-in-chief, chief executive, chief diplo- mat, chief legislator, chief of party, chief voice of the peo- ple, first responder, chief priest, and world leader. You're expected to fulfill your campaign promises, but you're also expected to solve the surprising and urgent crises of the day. What's on your to-do list? Where would you even start? What shocks aren't you thinking about? The American presidency is in trouble. It has become overburdened, misunderstood, almost impossible to do. "The problems in the job unfolded before Donald Trump was elected, and the challenges of governing today will confront his successors," writes John Dickerson. After all, the founders never intended for our system of checks and balances to have one superior Chief Magistrate, with Congress demoted to "the little brother who can't keep up."
