The US President is transported in a special bulletproof vehicle with his entourage. The President is not allowed to drive under any circumstances, even during vacations. Because of this rule, US Presidents do not own private cars or only buy them as... collectibles and do not drive them on the road.
The above regulation was created to ensure maximum safety for the Presidents. In addition to the fact that civilian vehicles cannot withstand armed attacks, traffic accidents are also a danger that can happen at any time if the President travels alone without a motorcade.
2. Using mobile phone

The US President only uses cell phones that have been approved by the CIA and NSA. These phones must be highly secure, modified using NSA secret technology to use private phone lines with encryption features, preventing calls from being traced back to reveal the President's location.
In particular, US Presidents are not allowed to use iPhones and all mobile devices using the iOS operating system because this operating system does not allow NSA experts to interfere with the internal system, so it is impossible to install the "exclusive" security features of the White House.
3. Private business

If the US Presidents were tycoons before taking office, they must transfer and sell all their profitable assets before becoming President. This is stipulated in the Constitution and Law to minimize the risk that the President will use his power to make a profit on the products he is doing business in. Similarly, positions such as the Minister of Finance, Director of the Federal Bank, Director of the Federal Reserve... all must sell all the stocks and bonds they are holding before taking office.
