First a POTUS, like any executive sets a moral tone for the organization he leads. Just look to Cartagena if you need an example. In as much as all things are political, leadership by example and standing firmly behind the bully pulpit can effect a lot of subtle changes in the hearts and minds of the American people. Reagan did it very effectively.
Legislatively, I think a lot can be done, not by passing new "morality" laws, but by repealing a lot of immoral ones.

Emphatic agreement! I would love to see a push for restoration in the form of stripping out such legislation.
