He was the first president and Vice President to ever meet with Soviet Union, not only that but when no other President or Vice President were able to. He also started the Environmental Protection Agency. Not only that he also gave 18 yr olds the right to vote and ended the draft.

    The Role and Powers of the Presidency

    The first President I pick was Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) and how he took control of the Panama Canal to better help America with the foreign trades. Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) on getting America out of World War 1 and building hope back for the American people. Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929) took the people thru the Roaring Twenties when the people were just starting to enjoy life a little more. Franklin d. Roosevelt (1933-1945) trying to give the American people hope to come out of the Great Depression the worst time in American history. Richard Nixon (1969-1974) gave America a black eye with the Watergate scandal but he thought it was for the greater good of the people. Last but not less Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) when he had America boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics to so the other powers to be that we can stand on our own.…

    Richard Nixon's Leadership During The Vietnam War

    At the time of his first term as president, Nixon's approval ratings were higher than those of President Johnson and he won reelection by one of the biggest margins in American history (Gallup). That is to say, despite the protests and ineffectiveness of his tactics, there was public support for the way in which he conducted the war, especially from the “Silent majority”. Although, this can be attributed in part to the secrecy of his actions, as was case of the bombing of Laos and Cambodia and the sabotage of the 1968 peace talks. In addition, he did effectively end the Vietnam War in 1973. For this reason in the literal sense of the word, Nixon was an effective leader, he was able to influence both American people and politicians towards a common goal, the end of the war. However, because of new information found on Nixon's tapes and in notes from his top aids it is clear that Nixon lacked the moral integrity that characterizes an effective leader. This begs the difficult question, should Nixon's leadership be judged for his accomplishment and the way he was viewed in the moment or should he be judged by the means through which he accomplished so…

    Great Flood

    Ulysses S. Grant was a war hero and the 18th president of the United States. During his two year term he was criticized for a number of things. One major thing that negatively affected his political career was that he trusted too easily. As a result of this, members of his cabinet, and lower administration got away with everything from financial mismanagement to theft. Once word of this got out he lost support within his own party. Despite immense efforts, Grant failed to apply congressional policies during the years of reconstruction. An example of this would be Grants desire to leave the south with blacks having full rights, he obviously fell short of his goal.…

    The Cambodian Incursion

    In the recorded conversations that Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, had with his White House aides, he reveals his motivations and his assumptions about the American public: “Everybody says we’ve got to protect this one and that one and the other one. The main thing we’ve got to protect is the Presidency”. He felt that the presidency granted him immunity to the law. Under his Presidency, an air of distrust of government gradually grew amongst US citizens. He led a criminal presidency yet was never indicted or prosecuted. If he were not President of the United States, he would have faced greater consequences for his actions. In this light, perhaps he was right when he claimed, in his 1977 interview with David Frost, “When…
