No, the President of the United States (POTUS) does not directly run the District of Columbia. While the District of Columbia operates under a "Home Rule" system with an elected mayor and city council, Congress retains significant oversight and control. This includes reviewing and potentially overriding local legislation, as well as controlling the city's budget. Here's a breakdown: Home Rule: The D.C. Home Rule Act grants the city a degree of self-governance with an elected mayor and council. Federal Oversight: Despite Home Rule, Congress has ultimate authority over D.C. Limited Presidential Role: While the President appoints judges in D.C., their direct control over the city's day-to- day operations is limited compared to the authority they hold in federal matters.
