increasingly strong role in American political life since the
beginning of the 20th century, with a notable expansion during the
presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In contemporary times, the
president is also looked upon as one of the world's most powerful
political figures as the leader of the only remaining global
superpower. As the leader of the nation with the largest economy by
nominal GDP, the president possesses significant domestic and
international hard and soft power. President of the United States Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
