As President , you are the final auditer . Because situations are going to escalate . When they do , advisors ranging from military to social to economy to legal who has no obligation to be neutral , and are only tasked with thinking about their own field , will give you their best guesses , and their own desires for how to attack the problem . Its your job to stay on top of developing situations because of it , so that when a situation escalates fast , and requires quick decisions , you are informed and have the overview to know how your decision will affect other areas and situations . Its the best defence against rash decisions , and its a wise policy , because so often the Presidents have been the ones to hold the generals back . Because the President is the one with the authority to release military action , nuclear weapons , and so many assets of state . Not the Vice President . nbspAnd Donald . he just doesnt do that . Its a good thing he is known for keeping a calm head when under pressure , and not responding by kneejerk reaction when something goes against him at short notice .
