U.S. President Should Be Statesman at All Times

I'm very dismayed by the inordinate amount of time that modern American Presidents are expected to devote to raising funds for their own political party, giving partisan speeches on behalf of their own political party, or giving a speech on behalf of a candidate of their own political party.

Wouldn't it be much better for our entire nation if the U.S. President were prohibited by law throughout his tenure in the White House from ever raising funds for his own political party or ever giving partisan political speeches on behalf of his own political party or a candidate for elective office from his political party?

A legal prohibition of this type would enable the U.S. President to devote himself on a full-time and year-round basis to being the best possible statesman and moral and cultural and political and educational leader for our entire country that he can possibly be. He could strive to conscientiously represent and very diligently and generously serve any and all citizens of the United States throughout his entire tenure in the White House.

This proposed change to our American governmental system would greatly enhance the credibility of a U.S. President with those duly elected members of Congress who are affiliated with a political party other than his own. This proposed change to our U.S. political system would also clarify the great moral obligation and responsibility that the U.S. President has throughout his entire tenure in the White House to diligently serve all of his constituents, regardless of their own political or religious affiliation or beliefs or socioeconomic status or background.

In response to this proposed revision of our political system, some might point out that a U.S. President seeking a second term of office for himself might wish to raise funds for that specific purpose on his own behalf. However, I myself am not sure whether the U.S. political system should ever permit a U.S. President who's already been head of state in the White House for three or more consecutive years to embark on fund-raising events on his own behalf.

It seems to me, in fact, that if a head of state of the USA has had three or more consecutive years of very recent professional experience in the White House, that already gives him a huge "name recognition" advantage over anyone who would seek to oppose him either in the primary campaign.

Perhaps the American political system should be revised to permit a U.S. President already in office to pursue and attend and preside over fund-raising events on his own behalf during the Presidential Primary season if (and only if) that U.S. President HAS NOT been our head of state in the White House for the most recent three or more consecutive years.

That possible exception to this proposed revision of our American political system would be for a U.S. President who had not been elected to that position----a head of state of the USA who had been appointed or named to that position after his predecessor in the White House resigned or was impeached and removed from office or died in office. That new head of state for the USA might have an understandable need to pursue fund-raising events throughout the country during the Presidential Primary season as he seeks to be elected by the American people to his first full term of office in the White House.
