What role does the President NOT perform?

The role that the President does not perform is making laws directly. In the United States government structure, the President is responsible for executing and enforcing the laws passed by Congress, rather than directly creating or enacting them.

The President does have significant influence over the legislative process by proposing laws and working with Congress, including presenting the federal budget. Additionally, the President serves as the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, overseeing military operations and strategy. The duty of receiving ambassadors and foreign leaders is part of the President's role in conducting foreign policy and diplomacy. Therefore, while the President plays a crucial role in shaping laws and governance, the formal authority to make laws is vested in Congress.
