Do presidents have less fiduciary responsibility than CEOs?
Yes. Presidents and CEO's are entirely different roles and have entirely different legal obligations. CEO's and CFO's have significantly more fiduciary responsibilities to investors, shareholders and board members. The president of the USA has responsibilities to uphold the constitution, act as the commander and chief to the military, faithfully execute the laws among a myriad of other executive tasks.
CEO fiduciary duties are enforceable by shareholder litigation, while presidential duties are mostly checked by elections, impeachment, and courts, so accountability is weaker and slower.

High-ranking officials are exempt from criminal punishment.
And if they do, it is because they have crossed some red lines.
