You seem to think the President punches out on a time clock when he leaves the Oval office like some blue collar schmoe leaves the factory to kick back with some beers at the bar on his way home to the wife.

Apparently you don't seem to have a very clear picture of what the job of POTUS entails. Regardless of his location he is on the job 24/7/365. There is nothing he can do in the White House that he can't, and doesn't, do at whether he's at Camp David, flying in Airforce One or at his ranch, and he has the staff and cabinet to ensure it, using the most sophisticated communications network in the world.

Wherever he is he still gets a full round of daily briefings in addition to the regular schedule of meetings and appointments.
