One who may resist a rousing song about US President (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lie-abed

'one who may resist a rousing' is the definition.
(person who might resist being roused from sleep)

'song about us president' is the wordplay.
'song' becomes 'lied' (lied is a kind of song**).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'us president' becomes 'abe' (Abraham (Abe) Lincoln).
'lied' placed around 'abe' is 'LIE-ABED'.

(Another definition for lie-abed that I've seen is " Late riser".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
