A precedent is a case that the court looks at to figure out how to handle a current case.
----So when the court gets a case, they look back at other cases they have done like it, see how they handled it and what the outcome was and pretty much use it as a guideline for the current case.

BOY are you confused! Just for starters:
The President is the chief executive.
He runs the country, but is only remotely connected
to the legal system.
Common Law is a State not a Federal matter.
Our 'adversarial system' is ultimately under the Supreme Courts. (States and Federal).
President who?
Do you mean precedent?
