5. Not Carry The ‘Football’
Yeah! The POTUS needs to carry his ‘Football’ everywhere he goes. ‘Football’ is the nickname given to the Briefcase the secret service carries when they are out with the president. The exact contents of the briefcase are unknown but it’s said to provide the means to contact the Military during the hour of emergency.
6. Go For A Drive
If you love cars but want to be President then you might have a problem on your hands. The POTUS cannot use any of his cars to go on a drive all by himself. He is always accompanied by the driver provided by the Secret Service. In fact, the former Presidents also are provided with the lifetime protection with a driver from Secret Service. Looks like being a President means losing out on a lot of basic ones.
7. Break Down The Border
While POTUS might dream of a border-less future but that won’t happen anytime soon. There are laws in place that go all the way back to the ’20s that prevent the President from allowing more than an allotted amount of legal immigrants into the country.
8. Pick Your Fruit – Not An ‘Apple’ For Sure
Man ‘Apple’ friendly Presidents have it rough. The President of the United States is not allowed to own or use a phone that has a recording device built into it. That’s why the tweets all come from one place – Blackberry and not an iPhone. Oh! The sacrifices these men and women have to make.
