Question

Review the list of presidential roles you created in item 1. Provide at least one example in which one or more of these roles could be at odds with one or more of his or her other roles. What are the implications of this

Answer 1

Among the presidential roles that could be in conflict with each other are those of being "chief administrator" and "chief legislator" with those of being "party chief".

The president maintains the status of political chief of his or her party. This institution, like others, has its own agenda and objectives. These objectives could not necessarily represent a benefit for the majority of the American population. However, there is a possibility that the president could enter a conflict of interest due to the fact that also has to respond to the claims of his party members.
