I don't think they should be held to higher moral standards. Yes we should expect them to be competent and be efficient at there presidential duties, but we shouldn't expect them to be the height of human morality and standard.

The main responsibility of the President is to represent the USA as a whole. I think that they should be put in a higher standard because they chose to run for a very high position in American leadership.

Maintaining the executive branch and all its duties to put it short because that’s a broad question. They absolutely should be held to a higher standard than others citizens and politicians because the president represents the country, both to Americans, and to the rest of the world

The presidents responsibility is to lead our country in the affairs of domestic and abroad with the help of the other branches. I think they should be held to a higher standard then everyday citizens because they are representing the entire country as a whole.

The main responsibility of the president is to make important decisions about the United States. I think they should be held to a higher standard than others because they are the one who's decisions affect everyone else the most.

The main responsibility of the president is to pass bills and keep the country on the right track, I think that they should be held to a higher standard because they are the face of our country.

A president should have the same responsibilities as other politicians, but they shouldn't be the only ones blamed for decisions congress makes. Yes, they should be held to a higher standard because they represent us but we also need to understand they are human too.

The main goal of the president is to make decisions based as a whole and a duty to represent our country. I think they should be put in a higher standard due to the fact that citizens and politicians elected them and like i said before they have to represent all of america

It is the Presidents job to make sure the United States can go through its day to day functions smoothly and be able to respond quickly and safely to any unexpected events that may happen. The president should be held to a higher standard because he represents the U.S. as a whole to other countries.

The president should be held to a higher standard of conduct than other politicians and people. The president is the face of the country, they represent all of us so they should be mature and responsibility. Politicians should be also held to a higher standard but the president is more known and is the face of the country unlike them.

The main responsibility of the president is to represent the American people and what they want and they should be held to a higher standard of conduct because of that.

The main responsibility of the president is to implement and enforce the laws. They shouldn’t be held to a higher standard in comparison to other politicians and citizens because they are only in that position for 4-8 years and then they go back to being someone regular like everyone else.

I think that they should be held to a higher conduct. This sounds cheesy but the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" thing should definitely apply to the president. To be honest I'm not entirely sure what the president's roles are besides signing off on laws

I do think that the president should be held to a higher standard than the average citizen. The president's job is to be the face of the country and a leader. A president can't be have selfish concerns. They are the face of the country on the national and international level.

The president kind of represents our country to the world , so they should probably be held to higher moral standards ? The president should be competent and professional.

I think that the President should represent the people and speak for the people. I think that they should be above some other political leaders because the people elected the President specifically to be the leader for the people

I think that the president should be held to the same moral standard as any other good human. If they are expected to be better than everyone else that is 1) unrealistic for them and 2) unrealistic for the people, because there is no way that anyone could actually be held to and fulfill that standard. And their main responsibility is to represent the U.S. people as a whole and speak for us collectively.

The president represents the face of the U.S.A and holds power over the US military. The president should absolutely be held higher than an average us citizen.

The main responsibility of the president is to enforce laws upon the people. I think the president should have higher standards for himself and our country. Although we are only human, it is good to set higher standards for our country.

the president should be held to a higher standard, but the people should also remember that they are only human. since the president is representing the United States they should be held at a higher moral standard, and mental standard.

The president is the one who truly represents the people, so the morals and standards should be proffessional.

I think the president should represent the people, it goes back to the idea of republicanism, vote people into power who represent you and have the same ideas and morals as you.
