The United States isn’t supposed to have a “CEO” in the sense that a corporation does. For countries, that job description is called a “monarch”, and the Constitution is specifically designed to make sure we don’t have one.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoA monarch cannot be voted out. A CEO can be voted out. The US president presides over the executive branch of the US government. It’s not a one to one equivalence, but commander-in-chief is pretty close to a chief executive office.
- wrs 2y agoThe difference in job duration isn’t the point I was making. The President is merely the head of three equal branches that are supposed to keep each other in check, and has significant limits on his/her powers. A CEO has essentially limitless powers as long as they have the job. As one obvious example, a CEO controls the company budget. A President can merely suggest a budget to Congress.
