As a president, you are necessarily a quantified being, measured and judged by a large array of numbers. Approval / disapproval ratings. Unemployment rate. Median household income. Inflation rate. The numbers of views on a clip from the White House Correspondents Dinner. The worldwide gross for Furious 7. Here are a few more ways to judge the president: heart rate, steps taken, sleep.
