THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIT SI) STATES The President must be a natural -born citizen of the United States, and must be thirty-five years old. As it has turned out nearly all of our presicents have been over fifty years old TA,hen elected. If he should die or become unable to serve, the vice-president takes his place, and so of coi;rse, the same rules must apply for choosing a vice-president in case both preside. Congress was given povver to decide who shall be president in case both president and vice-president die and has done so by making the members of the cabinet the successors. So far in our history , both president and vice-president have not died in the same term. The president is commander-in-chief of the ariry and navy, though no president has ever taken the field in person. He appoints all the officers above the rank of colonel, and decides which one shall be in charge of the amny . Lincoln, a.lways took great interest in all the plans of the generals and often changed them. The president also has power to grant pardons except in cases of impeachment. This means that even though a man has been convicted and sent to prison the president can release him, if he has broken the law of the United States. With the laws of a state, the president has nothing to do . The President has power to make treaties, that is agreements wit h foreign nations , but two-thirds of the Sen- ate must approve before they become laws. With the consent of the Senate, he also appoints ambassadors , ministers , and Consuls to represent the nation in foreign countries. He al- so appoints United States Judges and thousands of others but the Consent of the Senate is necessary here also The President is instructed to give to Congress every year information on the state of the union together with his recommendations. Both Washington and Adams visited Congress in person and spoke. Jefferson was a poor speaker and sent his recommendations in writing. Every president followed his example until President Wilson who went back to the old cus- tom and spoke to both houses of Congress in person. The president and all other officers can be removed from office by impeachment. One president, Andrew Johnson, was impeached but was declared not quiity. Enough has been said to show that the President is a very powerful ruler, m.uch more power- ful than m.ost of the kings in the world. He cannot control the other parts of the government.
