President Become So Complex

Why Has the Job of the President Become so Complex?

Time is infinite yet brief. It is never ending but it ends people and things. Over time, things change. They evolve, grow, die off, improve. Many things change over time, people, population, even the world. One of many things that evolved over time is the government. From settlers, to a colony, to a revolution, sprouted a government [the United States of America (U.S.)]. This young government, new to the world has many things to learn.
