The President of the United States is the most important political figure in the nation, being the leader of the executive branch of the federal government and, therefore, the head of state and government of the United States of America. The main tasks of the President are the exercise of the executive function of the federal government, that is, to administer the country and to supervise the correct fulfillment of the laws.
The position of President is designated by means of elections, in which the Electoral College designates which candidate will be the one to carry out said function during the 4 years following the election. The President can be reelected for another 4 years, but only once, after which he will not be able to access that position again.
Today, the President is Donald Trump, although Joe Biden was elected to fill that position from 2021 to 2024.
