Topic 2.7
Why does using written statements remain a significant part of presidential communication?
Presidents enjoy writing as a hobby and apply this practice into their job role frequently.
It allows presidents to avoid answering questions from journalists directly during press conferences.
Written statements provide clear recorded historical documentation of presidential positions on issues.
All written communications are automatically classified as national secrets under federal law, providing security advantages over other methods of communication.
