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.
