HISTORY 425 THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY
The Ferocious Engine of Democracy A history of the american Presidency (two general COURSE OUTLINE. The american Presidency Historical Antecedents
http://www.kings.edu/hbfedric/presidential.html

Extractions: SPRING 2000 In this course we will attempt an analysis of the significant developments in the evolution of the Presidency using a study of the administrations of a select group of American Presidents. Emphasis will be on an examination of the leadership roles each exercised in shaping the character of the office as well as a focus on the primary political, economic, and cultural forces of the respective historical periods. Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and the major twentieth century Presidents will be the primary subjects of the course; however, they will not be the only subjects of our study. While the primary character of the course will be historical it will be necessary and desirable to use the tools of the political scientist to achieve our objectives as well. And - to be sure - we will maintain an interest and study of the current Presidential election campaign. Michael P. Riccards.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/gw1.html

Extractions: George Washington On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles." Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. Lynne Cheney Biography From 1759 to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters, Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly voiced his resistance to the restrictions.

Kay Summersby's book mentions an incident involving an "infected cyst," which was the cover story for the operation. The lesion proved to be a seborrheic keratosis, but Eisenhower appears never to have been told this.

Ulysses S Grant Union general and american President though not great, president, and one of the best generals in the history of the country.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A3310417

Extractions: Ulysses S Grant was one of the few truly competent Union Generals in the American Civil War, and a President of the USA. He was remembered as a good, though not great, president, and one of the best generals in the history of the country. One of the few presidents to be better known for his affairs before office than in it, Grant at one point had the title as the overall commander of Union forces in the Civil War. He was well known for his love for whisky , and his unshaven appearance, but he was a master strategist and a very intelligent man. He is also known for rising from being a common man at the beginning of the war to the highest levels of the Union army by the end. Early Life Grant was born as Hiram Ulysses Grant on 27 April, 1822 in Point Pleasant

Extractions: American Presidential History Timeline: 1869 to 1901 The Ulysses S. Grant Administration (Republican, 1869-1877) 1868 election map 1872 election map Late in the administration of Andrew Johnson, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant quarreled with the President and aligned himself with the Radical Republicans. He was, as the symbol of Union victory during the Civil War, their logical candidate for President in 1868. When he was elected, the American people hoped for an end to turmoil. Grant provided neither vigor nor reform. Looking to Congress for direction, he seemed bewildered. One visitor to the White House noted "a puzzled pathos, as of a man with a problem before him of which he does not understand the terms." In his 1869 inaugural address , Grant spoke of ensuring the right to vote regardless of "race, color or previous condition of servitude." He worked hard his first year in office to get the Fifteenth Amendment passed. But his political inexperience began to show almost immediately. Grant was deeply haunted by the failures of his early life and he was loyal out of all proportion to anyone who had ever been nice to him. As a result, he appointed his friends to office and soon his administration was racked with incompetence and corruption.

Extractions: Portraits of the Presidents and First Ladies, 1789-Present George Washington , the first president of the United States, was born on February 22 before Washington's and after Lincoln's birthday. How do we really know when George Washington was born? Tobias Lear, Washington's secretary and close friend, gave the world a clue. Lear lived with George and Martha Washington at Mt. Vernon , and he helped the Revolutionary War general organize his papers. On February 14, 1790 , Lear wrote that the President's "birth day" was on the 11th of February Old Style , referring to the Julian Calendar. Washington was born 20 years prior to the 1752 introduction of the Gregorian Calendar (intended to more accurately reflect a solar year). When the Julian Calendar was "corrected" to the Gregorian Calendar, February 11th became February 22nd.

The exhibit called "The American Presidency" is our report today on the VOA Special English program, THIS IS AMERICA. ((INSTEAD OF THEME, "HAIL TO THE CHIEF")) VOICE ONE: Thousands of people are visiting a new permanent exhibit at the National Museum of American History. The exhibit tells about the forty-two American presidents. The show brings together more than nine-hundred presidential letters, papers, pictures and other objects. It is called "The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden." The name means that serving as president is a powerful and wonderful experience. But it also means that a president faces serious responsibilities and risks. Many objects in the museum show demonstrate this. A large sign on the front of the museum tells what the thirty-third American president thought about his job. Harry S Truman was president during the last days of World War Two and immediately afterward. He said, "Being a president is like riding a tiger." VOICE TWO: Visitors can see a small, moveable desk that belonged to Thomas Jefferson. He became the third president of the United States in Eighteen-Oh-One. Years earlier, he used the desk to write America's Declaration of Independence from England. That happened in Seventeen-Seventy-Six.

http://clark04.com/drafthistory/

Extractions: A Short History of the Draft Clark Movement The presidential draft is a tradition as old as America itself. In 1789, George Washington became our first president after his fellow citizens called him back from his retirement at Mount Vernon. In 1952, General Dwight D. Eisenhower accepted a presidential draft and was elected our 34th president. Today, Wes Clark has answered a new, powerful call to service. The Draft Clark movement got off the ground on April 10, 2003, when a pair of friends launched a website designed to enlist other Americans in the effort to draft General Clark. From that small nucleus, the draft grew into an enormous grassroots movement that appealed to Wes Clark's sense of duty, honor, and country. In the first days of summer, General Clark traveled the country, met with ordinary Americans in small towns and big cities, and spoke out strongly and consistently on the problems facing the United States. As he described his vision of a stronger, more prosperous America and a safer, more peaceful world, the draft movement attracted tens of thousands of Americans. The movement drew them into politics not only with new technology but with an old idea: concerned citizens can change America with their ideas and their voices. As weeks passed, the draft movement gathered in public places and private homes, organized through the Internet, greeted General Clark at his appearances across the country, pledged support to his potential campaign, and assembled state and local teams that were ready to go to work as soon as the General declared his candidacy. Meanwhile, draft leaders opened offices in New Hampshire, Little Rock, New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.

http://earlyamerica.com/review/summer97/secular.html

Extractions: Little-Known U.S. Document Signed by President Adams Proclaims America's Government Is Secular by Jim Walker Some people today assert that the United States government came from Christian foundations. They argue that our political system represents a Christian ideal form of government and that Jefferson, Madison, et al, had simply expressed Christian values while framing the Constitution. If this proved true, then we should have a wealth of evidence to support it, yet just the opposite proves the case. Although, indeed, many of America's colonial statesmen practiced Christianity, our most influential Founding Fathers broke away from traditional religious thinking. The ideas of the Great Enlightenment that began in Europe had begun to sever the chains of monarchical theocracy. These heretical European ideas spread throughout early America. Instead of relying on faith, people began to use reason and science as their guide. The humanistic philosophical writers of the Enlightenment, such as Locke, Rousseau, and Voltaire, had greatly influenced our Founding Fathers and Isaac Newton's mechanical and mathematical foundations served as a grounding post for their scientific reasoning. A few Christian fundamentalists attempt to convince us to return to the Christianity of early America, yet according to the historian, Robert T. Handy, "No more than 10 percent probably less of Americans in 1800 were members of congregations."
