Who is Mr. President and why?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28832points) August 2nd, 2012

Pardon my ignorance but when I listen to the radio and hear politicians speak in an assembly and argue their case, in the Senate and House of Representatives both, they directly address their statements to someone they call, Mr. President.

Who is this person and what is the history and significance of his position. What does he do? Sometimes I feel, why don’t just the people’s representatives address the people themselves, even if we’re not there?
