What Powers Should The President Not Have? Former President Obama Weighs In

Published | Video Starts at 01:43

Michelle grew up about a mile from here. Our wedding reception was about five minutes from here. My daughters were born in that hospital right there. I first arrived in Chicago driving down a road that is now been replaced by this building. The first apartment I stayed in Chicago is literally three blocks away. (01:43–01:53)
