Answer:

In charge of the nation's armed forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The president´s role as US commander-in-chief is defined by the Constitution. In modern democracies, the military is subordinated to civil authorities. The Article 2, Section 2, of the Constitution says: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States."
