Actual "chief executive" stuff

I have never believed that the presidency should be the moral compass of the nation. It is impossible to legislate morality, so why expect the chief executive to worry about? The president should be dealing with the day-to-day running of the executive branch, defending the country and making sure that we can go about our lives with a minimum of fuss. Like this.

And this is why regular people should be president. Not Rhodes scholars, wives of Rhodes scholars or anybody whose address includes "The Hamptons."
