Not even past presidents can avoid being called in for jury duty.
Former President Barack Obama honored his civic obligations in Chicago on Wednesday morning, reporting for jury duty at the Windy City’s Daley Center with his Secret Service detail in tow.
Earlier, Obama was seen leaving his home in Chicago’s Kenwood neighborhood with a motorcade of black SUVs, CNN reported. After he arrived at the Daley Center, Obama shook hands with fellow would-be jurors and autographed copies of his books.
The former president was ultimately dismissed without having to serve on a jury, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Date: Thursday, 26 December; Venue: Bloomfield Road, Blackpool; Kickoff: 17:15 GMT
Leeds United have not won at Blackpool since 1967, yet they are three points and five places better off than their hosts on Boxing Day after 21 Championship matches.
Paul Ince’s Seasiders have lost four in a row, dropping out of the playoffs and down to tenth at Christmas. Brian McDermott and the Whites have benefitted from this, putting together an unbeaten run of two wins and two draws which has resulted in them climbing into the top six.
Scotland striker Ross McCormack is in hot form for Leeds after scoring 11 goals in his last eight matches. Blackpool – contending with injuries and suspensions – have by contrast only netted that many times as a team since the end of September.
As this match kicks off after all but one of the Championship encounters on Boxing Day, United will start no lower than eighth.

In-form Derby County striker Chris Martin hit a second half hat-trick that kept Steve McClaren’s winning run going with victory over nine-man Blackpool.
The Rams fell behind to their Championship promotion rivals early on through Isaiah Osborune, but Martin converted two penalties after the break and scored a third from open play in between.
Craig Bryson and Richard Keogh were also on target as Blackpool saw their poor discipline continue. Neal Bishop and Angel Martinez both had an early bath. McClaren and County have now recorded five straight wins.
Visitors Blackpool went ahead inside three minutes as Osbourne nodded in Tom Ince’s free kick with a flicked header into the far corner. Derby left back Craig Forsyth had fouled Steve Davies.
Hosts County responded with talented youngster Will Hughes curling a free kick just wide of Blackpool’s goal. Martin saw two efforts blocked with Liverpool loanee Jack Robinson...
