   No.  Those are elements of his oath of office.  They are not "appointed   
   duties" - the expression is nonsensical bullshit.   
      
   Article II enumerates the *powers* of the presidency, not the duties.

   "America's abundance was not created by public sacrifices to 'the common   
   good,' but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own   
   personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes."
