President Obama Ordered to Report for Jury Duty

White House says POTUS won't be able to serve

President Barack Obama already serves his country as its commander in chief, but apparently the Cook County judicial system wants to get a little more out of him.

The president's name recently popped up on a county jury duty list.

An administration source said the White House notified the court that the president will not be able to serve.

According to the Sun-Times' Michael Sneed, the summons contained the president's home address in the Kenwood neighborhood, and was for a jury trial set to start Monday.
