The Office of the President of the United States is based on Article II of the US Constitution, is one of the toughest positions in the world.

"None of this happens on its own. All of this depends on our participation. On each of us accepting the responsibility of citizenship. Regardless of which way the pendulum of power happens to be swinging. Our constitution is a remarkable, beautiful gift, but it's really just a piece of parchment. It has no power of its own. We, the people, give it power. -Barack Obama"
