President of the United States

Your guide to our local slice of this national race.

There's not much we can say about this that you don't already know. The President of the United States is the highest elected office in our country, making up the Executive Branch of our democracy. Terms last four years.

This year, voters will decided whether to grant a second term to the country's first black president, Barack Obama, though a slow-to-recover economy is weighing heavy on the minds of voters.
