D&C 84
Even though the Bishop is the president of the Aaronic priesthood and - 
"The bishopric is the presidency of this priesthood, and holds the keys or authority of the same."   (Doctrine and Covenants Section 107:15)
The Lord made it clear - 
"...the offices of elder and bishop are necessary appendages belonging unto the high priesthood."  (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:29)
in comparison to - 
"...the offices of teacher and deacon are necessary appendages belonging to the lesser priesthood, which priesthood was confirmed upon Aaron and his sons."  (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:30)
Therefore bishops as well as those that are -
"...faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of which I have spoken, and the magnifying their calling..."  (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:33)
"...become the sons of Moses and of Aaron..."  (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:34)
We are promised in the last days that at some time, again - 
"...the sons of Moses and also the sons of Aaron shall offer an acceptable offering and sacrifice in the house of the Lord..."  (Doctrine and Covenants 
Section 84:31)
