Being the President of the United States is not an easy job. There are seven roles that the President is required to fulfill while in office. Each one requires different skills and the ability to multi-task. In my opinion, the most important duty is Chief of the Executive Branch.

These books exposed me to the realities of the world we live in.

The first of many erroneous mistakes made by Wilson in his attempts to have the Treaty of Versailles ratified by Congress, he blatantly refused the involvement of any Republican representative in his delegation for the Paris Peace talks.
