President of USA
President of USA, leader of the free world, Commander-in-Chief of the world mightiest military, foreign service across the globe marketing the ideals of America, and CEO of USA Inc which has 535 members in the board, with 300 milllion shareholders.
Job reponsibilities include keeping USA safe and military ready for wars overseas, have many contries friends as possible thru the marketing team (state department),ensure corporation's budget is balanced and keep the overall economy of USA kicking.
Despite clearly mentioned responsibilities measuring the performance is difficult it can be explained away,core group of shareholders and board of directors will support the CEO under any circumstance.
Shareholder and board of directors come from two groups the blue group or the red group. Red and blue groups have a core set of beliefs, blue group will go for wars over oil and starve the poor, red group will operate a welfare state and make the rich poor.
Whatever the group the president comes from it is easier to make the country's position worse than better, then the question one asks is why one needs the job. Only thing I can think of perks of the job great housing and retreat, specail planes and helicopters, expense account to host parties to heads of states and large contingent of personal staff, that will make a president feel like a emperor rather than a democratic head
