Discussion on answer by hatchet - done with SOverflow: Is Trump the "chief law-enforcement officer of the United States"?

This is the correct answer, and the accepted answer is completely wrong. The President is the chief everything in the executive branch, as a constitutional matter. The fact that the DOJ website makes another claim is immaterial; the President could order the DOJ to change its website if he chose.

@phoog well my source says differently (can arrest, is derived from Article 2), and there is slight difference between taking care that the laws be faithfully executed, by ordering someone to arrest, versus doing it yourself, esp when the officers would not exist in authority to do so without the President.

@KDog that source also says that the president cannot interfere in a prosecution that a District Attorney undertakes against direct orders other than by replacing the DA "because the President himself could give no order to the court or to the clerk to make any particular entry." That the president is the superior of the AG doesn't make him the chief law enforcement officer any more than he is the chief medical officer, chief scientist, chief military officer (yes, he is commander in chief, but he is a civilian commander in chief), chief accountant, or chief anything else.
